It's not a static/linear mapping in this case so we need calls to map DMA
buffers as-needed. I've gotten it to boot with virtio-blk, but the patches
have some hacks and need cleanup, hoping to post them soon.

I'm a bit perplexed how we would manage to boot a guest without those
changes though, this is what I get with qemu 4.1.0:

  qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries,ic-mode=xics -m 512M -bios /home/mdroth/w/build/qemu-4.1.0-build/pc-bios/slof.bin -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0,id=blk0,disable-modern=off,disable-legacy=on,iommu_platform=on -drive file=/home/mdroth/vm/bionic-server-cloudimg-ppc64el.img,if=none,id=drive0 -trace enable=spapr_iommu\*,file=trace.out -monitor unix:/tmp/mon.sock,server,nowait -vga none -nographic

And then it hangs. This is with TCG so maybe it behaves differently with
KVM, but that's the result I would expect with the current SLOF code.
