When the guest kernel enables DMA engine with "CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=y",
Linux SBSA PL011 driver will access PL011 DMACR register in some
functions. As chapter "B Generic UART" in "ARM Server Base System
Architecture"[1] documentation describes, SBSA UART doesn't support
DMA. In current code, when the kernel tries to access DMACR register,
Xen will inject a data abort:

As discussed in [2], this commit makes the access to non-SBSA registers
RAZ/WI as an improvement.
