KVM does not support multiple KVM VFIO devices to be created when
trying to support multiple VFIO devices. This commit creates one
global KVM VFIO device being shared with every VFIO device, which
makes possible the support for passing several devices through the
VM.

VFIO explictly tells us if a MMIO region can be mapped into the guest
address space or not. Except for MSI-X table BARs, we try to map them
into the guest whenever VFIO allows us to do so. This avoids unnecessary
VM exits when the guest tries to access those regions.

The Virtual Function I/O (VFIO) kernel subsystem exposes a vast and
relatively complex userspace API. This commit abstracts and simplifies
this API into both an internal and external API.
The external API is to be consumed by VFIO device implementation through
the VfioDevice structure. A VfioDevice instance can:
- Enable and disable all interrupts (INTX, MSI and MSI-X) on the
underlying VFIO device.
- Read and write all of the VFIO device memory regions.
- Set the system's IOMMU tables for the underlying device.
