This patch for PCI passthrough devices enables a guest to access a device's
memory mapped I/O regions directly, without requiring the host to trap and
emulate every MMIO access. 

Updated from last version: we create a memory slot for each MMIO region of the
guest's devices, and then use the /sys/bus/pci/.../resource# mapping to find the
hfn for that MMIO region. The kernel part and the userspace part of this
patchset apply to Amit's pv-dma tree.  Tested on a Lenovo M57p with an e1000 NIC
assigned directly to an FC8 guest.

Comments are appreciated.
