vhost: skip ROM sections

vhost does not support RO protections on memory at the moment - adding
ROMs would mean that e.g. a buggy guest might change them in-memory - a
condition from which guest reset does not recover. Not nice.

We also definitely don't want to try logging writes into ROMs -
in particular guests set very high addresses for ROM BARs
so logging these writes would waste a lot of memory.

Maybe ROMs could be supported with the iotlb variant -
not sure, but there seems to be no good reason for virtio
to try to do DMA from ROM. So let's just skip ROM memory.
