Add a new domain attribute to enable the TTBR1 pagetable for drivers

TTBR1 is very much an Arm VMSA-specific term; if the concept of a split
address space is useful in general, is it worth trying to frame it in
general terms? AFAICS other IOMMU drivers could achieve the same effect
fairly straightforwardly by simply copying the top-level "global"
entries across whenever they switch "private" tables.
FWIW even for SMMU there could potentially be cases with Arm Ltd. IP
where the SoC vendor implements a stage-2-only configuration in their
media subsystem, because they care most about minimising area and
stage-1-only isn't an option.
