[RFC PATCH 3/3] vfio-pci: Allow to mmap MSI-X table if EEH is supported

[Yongji Xie]

Current vfio-pci implementation disallows to mmap MSI-X table in
case that user get to touch this directly.

However, EEH mechanism could ensure that a given pci device
can only shoot the MSIs assigned for its PE and guest kernel also
would not write to MSI-X table in pci_enable_msix() because
para-virtualization on PPC64 platform. So MSI-X table is safe to
access directly from the guest with EEH mechanism enabled.

This patch adds support for this case and allow to mmap MSI-X
table if EEH is supported on PPC64 platform.

And we also add a VFIO_DEVICE_FLAGS_PCI_MSIX_MMAP flag to notify
userspace that it's safe to mmap MSI-X table.
