memory: Allow replay of IOMMU mapping notifications
When we have guest visible IOMMUs, we allow notifiers to be registered which will be informed of all changes to IOMMU mappings. This is used by vfio to keep the host IOMMU mappings in sync with guest IOMMU mappings. However, unlike with a memory region listener, an iommu notifier won't be told about any mappings which already exist in the (guest) IOMMU at the time it is registered. This can cause problems if hotplugging a VFIO device onto a guest bus which had existing guest IOMMU mappings, but didn't previously have an VFIO devices (and hence no host IOMMU mappings). This adds a memory_region_iommu_replay() function to handle this case. It replays any existing mappings in an IOMMU memory region to a specified notifier. Because the IOMMU memory region doesn't internally remember the granularity of the guest IOMMU it has a small hack where the caller must specify a granularity at which to replay mappings. If there are finer mappings in the guest IOMMU these will be reported in the iotlb structures passed to the notifier which it must handle (probably causing it to flag an error). This isn't new - the VFIO iommu notifier must already handle notifications about guest IOMMU mappings too short for it to represent in the host IOMMU.
