Allow instantiating a virtio-iommu device by adding an ACPI Virtual I/O
Translation table (VIOT), which describes the relation between the
virtio-iommu and the endpoints it manages.
Add a hotplug handler for virtio-iommu on x86 and set the necessary
reserved region property. On x86, the [0xfee00000, 0xfeefffff] DMA
region is reserved for MSIs. DMA transactions to this range either
trigger IRQ remapping in the IOMMU or bypasses IOMMU translation.
Although virtio-iommu does not support IRQ remapping it must be informed
of the reserved region so that it can forward DMA transactions targeting
this region.

The x86_iommu_get_default() helper is still needed by KVM and IOAPIC to
fetch the default IRQ-remapping IOMMU. Since virtio-iommu doesn't
support IRQ remapping, this interface doesn't need to change for the
moment. We could later replace X86IOMMUState with an "IRQ remapping

We already don't ever migrate memory that corresponds to discarded ranges
as managed by a RamDiscardManager responsible for the mapped memory region
of the RAMBlock.
virtio-mem uses this mechanism to logically unplug parts of a RAMBlock.
Right now, we still populate zeropages for the whole usable part of the
RAMBlock, which is undesired because:
1. Even populating the shared zeropage will result in memory getting
consumed for page tables.
2. Memory backends without a shared zeropage (like hugetlbfs and shmem)
will populate an actual, fresh page, resulting in an unintended
memory consumption.
Discarded ("logically unplugged") parts have to remain discarded. As
these pages are never part of the migration stream, there is no need to
track modifications via userfaultfd WP reliably for these parts.
Further, any writes to these ranges by the VM are invalid and the
behavior is undefined.
Note that Linux only supports userfaultfd WP on private anonymous memory
for now, which usually results in the shared zeropage getting populated.
The issue will become more relevant once userfaultfd WP supports shmem
and hugetlb.
