transitions by code inspection, but it could have been caught with a
test.
Introduce a boot-time selftest exercising all the known pKVM memory
transitions and importantly checks the rejection of illegal transitions.
The new test is hidden behind a new Kconfig option separate from
CONFIG_EL2_NVHE_DEBUG on purpose as that has side effects on the
transition checks ([1] doesn't reproduce with EL2 debug enabled).

to another can be achieved using a "donate" operation, which results
in the previous owner losing access to the underlying pages entirely
and the new owner having exclusive access to the page.

In a similar manner to the sharing transitions, permission checks are

transition really is the owner of the page and also that the completer
does not currently have a page mapped at the target address.

We currently maintain two separate memory pools for the host stage-2,
one for pages used in the page-table when mapping memory regions, and
the other to map MMIO regions. The former is large enough to map all of
memory with page granularity and the latter can cover an arbitrary
portion of IPA space, but allows to 'recycle' pages.
However, this split makes accounting difficult to manage as pages at
intermediate levels of the page-table may be used to map both memory and
MMIO regions. Simplify the scheme by merging both pools into one. This
means we can now hit the -ENOMEM case in the memory abort path, but
we're still guaranteed forward-progress in the worst case by unmapping
MMIO regions. On the plus side this also means we can usually map a lot
more MMIO space at once if memory ranges happen to be mapped with block
mappings.
