Define an API so that devices can register MemoryRegionOps whose read and write callback functions are passed an arbitrary pointer to some transaction attributes and can return a success-or-failure status code. This will allow us to model devices which: * behave differently for ARM Secure/NonSecure memory accesses * behave differently for privileged/unprivileged accesses * may return a transaction failure (causing a guest exception) for erroneous accesses This patch defines the new API and plumbs the attributes parameter through to the memory.c public level functions io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(), where it is currently dummied out. The success/failure response indication is also propagated out to io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(), which retain the old-style boolean true-for-error return.
