Instead of adding shm_list, maybe we can we re-use mem->bank
(bootinfo.reserved_mem)?

It is already storing the physical address and size (added in patch #1
with process_shm_node). We should be able to find the other info from
the mfn: mfn_to_page, page_get_owner, mfn_to_gfn. At most, we need to
mark the memory bank as shared and we could do that with another field
in struct membank.

This is the third bitmask we introduce :-)

Can we narrow it down to a single bitmask? Maybe we don't need it at all
if we switch to using bootinfo.mem.bank.

No need for it to be u32?

Maybe we don't need to defer this at all. guest_physmap_add_shm does
only two things:

1) get a page ref using the owner domain
2) add page to borrower p2m


We can do 2) straight away even if the owner is not yet allocated.

For 1), we need to get the right amount of references when the owner is
allocated (which could be after the borrowers).

Keeping in mind that we have already parsed all the info in
xen/arch/arm/bootfdt.c:process_shm_node, I wonder if we can add a field
to mem->bank[mem->nr_banks] to keep a count of the number of borrowers.

Then when we allocate the page to the owner here, we just get as many
additional reference as the number of borrowers.

This would:
- add a field to bootinfo.reserved_mem
- remove the need for shm_list
- remove the need for shm_list_mask
- remove the need for the deferral

Just trying to make things simpler :-)
