Add support for ARM64 architecture so that the driver can now be built and VMCI device can be used. Update Kconfig file to allow the driver to be built on ARM64 as well. Fail vmci_guest_probe_device() on ARM64 if the device does not support MMIO register access. Lastly, add virtualization specific barriers which map to actual memory barrier instructions on ARM64, because it is required in case of ARM64 for queuepair (de)queuing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
