Simon Glass 428aa0ca56 sandbox: Enhance map_to_sysmem() to handle foreign pointers
At present map_sysmem() maps an address into the sandbox RAM buffer,
return a pointer, while map_to_sysmem() goes the other way.

The mapping is currently just 1:1 since a case was not found where a more
flexible mapping was needed. PCI does have a separate and more complex
mapping, but uses its own mechanism.

However this arrange cannot handle one important case, which is where a
test declares a stack variable and passes a pointer to it into a U-Boot
function which uses map_to_sysmem() to turn it into a address. Since the
pointer is not inside emulated DRAM, this will fail.

Add a mapping feature which can handle any such pointer, mapping it to a
simple tag value which can be passed around in U-Boot as an address.
