vfio-pci: Allow mmap of MSIX BAR
At the moment we unconditionally avoid mapping MSIX data of a BAR and
emulate MSIX table in QEMU. However it is 1) not always necessary as
a platform may provide a paravirt interface for MSIX configuration;
2) can affect the speed of MMIO access by emulating them in QEMU when
frequently accessed registers share same system page with MSIX data,
this is particularly a problem for systems with the page size bigger
than 4KB.
A new capability - VFIO_REGION_INFO_CAP_MSIX_MAPPABLE - has been added
to the kernel [1] which tells the userspace that mapping of the MSIX data
is possible now. This makes use of it so from now on QEMU tries mapping
the entire BAR as a whole and emulate MSIX on top of that.
