Not the whole page, which may contain other registers too. The XHCI
specification describes DbC as designed to be controlled by a different
driver, but does not mandate placing registers on a separate page. In fact
on Tiger Lake and newer (at least), this page do contain other registers
that Linux tries to use. And with share=yes, a domU would use them too.
Without this patch, PV dom0 would fail to initialize the controller,
while HVM would be killed on EPT violation.

With `share=yes`, this patch gives domU more access to the emulator
(although a HVM with any emulated device already has plenty of it). This
configuration is already documented as unsafe with untrusted guests and
not security supported.

Changes in v4:
- restore mmio_ro_ranges in the fallback case
- set XHCI_SHARE_NONE in the fallback case
Changes in v3:
- indentation fix
- remove stale comment
- fallback to pci_ro_device() if subpage_mmio_ro_add() fails
- extend commit message
Changes in v2:
 - adjust for simplified subpage_mmio_ro_add() API
