Both devices seem to be specific to the ARM platform. It's confusing
for the users if they show up on other target architectures, too
(e.g. when the user runs QEMU with "-device ?" to get a list of
supported devices). Thus let's introduce proper configuration switches
so that the devices are only compiled and included when they are
really required.

This makes use of the new "memory registering" feature. The idea is
to provide the userspace ability to notify the host kernel about pages
which are going to be used for DMA. Having this information, the host
kernel can pin them all once per user process, do locked pages
accounting (once) and not spent time on doing that in real time with
possible failures which cannot be handled nicely in some cases.
This adds a prereg memory listener which listens on address_space_memory
and notifies a VFIO container about memory which needs to be
pinned/unpinned. VFIO MMIO regions (i.e. "skip dump" regions) are skipped.
The feature is only enabled for SPAPR IOMMU v2. The host kernel changes
are required. Since v2 does not need/support VFIO_IOMMU_ENABLE, this does
not call it when v2 is detected and enabled.
This enforces guest RAM blocks to be host page size aligned; however
this is not new as KVM already requires memory slots to be host page
size aligned.

This patch introduces the amd-xgbe VFIO platform device. It
allows the guest to do passthrough on a device exposing an
"amd,xgbe-seattle-v1a" compat string.

A new common module is created. It implements all functions
that have no device specificity (PCI, Platform).
