KVM: arm/arm64: Document KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION

We introduce a new KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION attribute in
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR group. It allows userspace to provide the
base address and size of a redistributor region

Compared to KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST, this new attribute allows
to declare several separate redistributor regions.

So the whole redist space does not need to be contiguous anymore.

+      The attribute data pointed to by kvm_device_attr.addr is a __u64 value:
+      bits:     | 63   ....  52  |  51   ....   16 | 15 - 12  |11 - 0
+      values:   |     count      |       base      |  flags   | index
+      - index encodes the unique redistributor region index
+      - flags: reserved for future use, currently 0
+      - base field encodes bits [51:16] of the guest physical base address
+        of the first redistributor in the region.
+      - count encodes the number of redistributors in the region. Must be
+        greater than 0.
+      There are two 64K pages for each redistributor in the region and
+      redistributors are laid out contiguously within the region. Regions
+      are filled with redistributors in the index order. The sum of all
+      region count fields must be greater than or equal to the number of
+      VCPUs. Redistributor regions must be registered in the incremental
+      index order, starting from index 0.
+      The characteristics of a specific redistributor region can be read
+      by presetting the index field in the attr data.
