xen: don't require virtio with grants for non-PV guests
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.
