vfio: vfio-pci device assignment driver

This adds the core of the QEMU VFIO-based PCI device assignment driver.
To make use of this driver, enable CONFIG_VFIO, CONFIG_VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1,
and CONFIG_VFIO_PCI in your host Linux kernel config.  Load the vfio-pci
module.  To assign device 0000:05:00.0 to a guest, do the following:

for dev in $(ls /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:05:00.0/iommu_group/devices); do
    vendor=$(cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/$dev/vendor)
    device=$(cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/$dev/device)
    if [ -e /sys/bus/pci/devices/$dev/driver ]; then
        echo $dev > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$dev/driver/unbind
    fi
    echo $vendor $device > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id
done

See Documentation/vfio.txt in the Linux kernel tree for further
description of IOMMU groups and VFIO.

Then launch qemu including the option:

-device vfio-pci,host=0000:05:00.0

Legacy PCI interrupts (INTx) currently makes use of a kludge where we
trap BAR accesses and assume the access is in response to an interrupt,
therefore de-asserting and unmasking the interrupt.  It's not quite as
targetted as using the EOI for this, but it's self contained and seems
to work across all architectures.  The side-effect is a significant
performance slow-down for device in INTx mode.  Some devices, like
graphics cards, don't really use their interrupt, so this can be turned
off with the x-intx=off option, which disables INTx alltogether.  This
should be considered an experimental option until we refine this code.
Both MSI and MSI-X are supported and avoid these issues.
