This patch series allows for emulated devices to be passed through to nested
guests, irrespective of at which level the device is being emulated.

Note that the emulated device must be using dma, not virtio.

For example, passing through an emulated e1000:

1. Emulate the device at L(n) for L(n+1)

qemu-system-ppc64 -netdev type=user,id=net0 -device e1000,netdev=net0

2. Assign the VFIO-PCI driver at L(n+1)

echo vfio-pci > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.0/driver_override
echo 0000:00:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000/unbind
echo 0000:00:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/bind
chmod 666 /dev/vfio/0

3. Pass the device through from L(n+1) to L(n+2)

qemu-system-ppc64 -device vfio-pci,host=0000:00:00.0

4. L(n+2) can now access the device which will be emulated at L(n)

V1 -> V2:
1/8: None
2/8: None
3/8: None
4/8: None
5/8: None
6/8: Account for L1 differing in endianess in kvmppc_complete_mmio_load()
7/8: None
8/8: None
