KVM: arm/arm64: Document KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION 

We introduce a new KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION attribute in
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR group. It allows userspace to provide the
base address and size of a redistributor region

Compared to KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST, this new attribute allows
to declare several separate redistributor regions.

So the whole redist space does not need to be contiguous anymore.

VCPU and all of the redistributor pages are contiguous.
Only valid for KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V3.
This address needs to be 64K aligned.
KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION (rw, 64-bit)
The attribute data pointed to by kvm_device_attr.addr is a __u64 value:
bits: | 63 .... 52 | 51 .... 16 | 15 - 12 |11 - 0
values: | count | base | flags | index
- index encodes the unique redistributor region index
- flags: reserved for future use, currently 0
- base field encodes bits [51:16] of the guest physical base address
of the first redistributor in the region.
- count encodes the number of redistributors in the region. Must be
greater than 0.
There are two 64K pages for each redistributor in the region and
redistributors are laid out contiguously within the region. Regions
are filled with redistributors in the index order. The sum of all
region count fields must be greater than or equal to the number of
VCPUs. Redistributor regions must be registered in the incremental
index order, starting from index 0.
The characteristics of a specific redistributor region can be read
by presetting the index field in the attr data.
Only valid for KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V3.
It is invalid to mix calls with KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST and
KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION attributes.
Errors:
-E2BIG: Address outside of addressable IPA range
-EINVAL: Incorrectly aligned address
-EINVAL: Incorrectly aligned address, bad redistributor region
count/index, mixed redistributor region attribute usage
-EEXIST: Address already configured
-ENOENT: Attempt to read the characteristics of a non existing
redistributor region
-ENXIO: The group or attribute is unknown/unsupported for this device
or hardware support is missing.
-EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr.
