[PATCH kernel 2/3] vfio_pci: Allow regions to add own capabilities

VFIO regions already support region capabilities with a limited set of
fields. However the subdriver might have to report to the userspace
additional bits.

This adds an add_capability() hook to vfio_pci_regops.

This is aiming Witherspoon POWER9 machines which have multiple
interconnected NVIDIA V100 GPUs with coherent RAM; each GPU's RAM
is mapped to a system bus and to each of GPU internal system bus and
the GPUs use this for DMA routing as DMA trafic can go via any
of many NVLink2 (GPU-GPU or GPU-CPU) or even stay local within a GPU.
