Commit fa1f57421e0b ("xen/virtio: Enable restricted memory access using
Xen grant mappings") introduced a new requirement for using virtio
devices: the backend now needs to support the VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM
feature.
This is an undue requirement for non-PV guests, as those can be operated
with existing backends without any problem, as long as those backends
are running in dom0.
Per default allow virtio devices without grant support for non-PV
guests.
On Arm require VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM for devices having been listed
in the device tree to use grants.
Add a new config item to always force use of grants for virtio.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
