pci-test is a device used for testing low level IO

device implements up to three BARs: BAR0, BAR1 and BAR2.
Each of BAR 0+1 can be memory or IO. Guests must detect
BAR types and act accordingly.

BAR 0+1 size is up to 4K bytes each.
BAR 0+1 starts with the following header:

typedef struct PCITestDevHdr {
    uint8_t test;  <- write-only, starts a given test number
    uint8_t width_type; <- read-only, type and width of access for a given test.
                           1,2,4 for byte,word or long write.
                           any other value if test not supported on this BAR
    uint8_t pad0[2];
    uint32_t offset; <- read-only, offset in this BAR for a given test
    uint32_t data;    <- read-only, data to use for a given test
    uint32_t count;  <- for debugging. number of writes detected.
    uint8_t name[]; <- for debugging. 0-terminated ASCII string.
} PCITestDevHdr;

All registers are little endian.

device is expected to always implement tests 0 to N on each BAR, and to add new
tests with higher numbers.  In this way a guest can scan test numbers until it
detects an access type that it does not support on this BAR, then stop.

BAR2 is a 64bit memory bar, without backing storage.  It is disabled
by default and can be enabled using the membar=<size> property.  This
can be used to test whether guests handle pci bars of a specific
(possibly quite large) size correctly.
