[PATCH V1 00/13 for 4.17-post] Follow-up static shared memory



There are some unsolving issues on current 4.17 static shared memory
feature[1], including:
- In order to avoid keeping growing 'membank', having the shared memory
regions in a separate array is preferred. And shared memory region should
have its own structure which would contain a pointer/index to the 'membank'.
- Missing implementation on having the host address optional in
"xen,shared-mem" property
- Missing "xen,offset" feature, which is introduced in Linux DOC[2]

After fixing all above issues, we'd like to make 'UNSUPPORTED' static
shared memory feature 'SUPPORTED'.

    provided
  xen/arm: assign shared memory to owner when host address not provided
  xen/arm: map shared memory to borrower when host address not provided
  xen/arm: use paddr_assigned to indicate whether host address is
    provided
