The attribute can be used to disable ROM loading completely
for a device.
This might be needed because, even when the guest is configured
such that the PCI ROM will not be loaded in the PCI BAR, some
hypervisors (eg. QEMU) might still make it available to the
guest in a form (eg. fw_cfg) that some firmwares (eg. SeaBIOS)
will consume, thus not achieving the desired result.

Move the qemuCaps checks over to qemuDomainControllerDefValidatePCI.
This requires two test updates in order to set the correct capability
bit for an xml2xml test as well as setting up the similar capability
for the pseries memlocktest.
Commit 10c73bf1 fixed a bug that I had introduced back in commit
70249927 - if a vhost-scsi device had no manually assigned PCI
address, one wouldn't be assigned automatically. There was a slight
problem with the logic of the fix though - in the case of domains with
pcie-root (e.g. those with a q35 machinetype),
qemuDomainDeviceCalculatePCIConnectFlags() will attempt to determine
if the host-side PCI device is Express or legacy by examining sysfs
based on the host-side PCI address stored in
hostdev->source.subsys.u.pci.addr, but that part of the union is only
valid for PCI hostdevs, *not* for SCSI hostdevs. So we end up trying
to read sysfs for some probably-non-existent device, which fails, and
the function virPCIDeviceIsPCIExpress() returns failure (-1).
By coincidence, the return value is being examined as a boolean, and
since -1 is true, we still end up assigning the vhost-scsi device to
an Express slot, but that is just by chance (and could fail in the
case that the gibberish in the "hostside PCI address" was the address
of a real device that happened to be legacy PCI).
Since (according to Paolo Bonzini) vhost-scsi devices appear just like
virtio-scsi devices in the guest, they should follow the same rules as
virtio devices when deciding whether they should be placed in an
Express or a legacy slot. That's accomplished in this patch by
returning early with virtioFlags, rather than erroneously using
hostdev->source.subsys.u.pci.addr. It also adds a test case for PCIe
to assure it doesn't get broken in the future.

This patch addresses the same aspects on PPC the bug 1103314 addressed
on x86.
PCI expander bus creates multiple primary PCI busses, where each of these
busses can be assigned a specific NUMA affinity, which, on x86 is
advertised through ACPI on a per-bus basis.
For SPAPR, a PHB's NUMA affinities are assigned on a per-PHB basis, and
there is no mechanism for advertising NUMA affinities to a guest on a
per-bus basis. So, even if qemu-ppc manages to get some sort of multi-bus
topology working using PXB, there is no way to expose the affinities
of these busses to the guest. It can only be exposed on a per-PHB/per-domain
basis.
So patch enables NUMA node tag in pci-root controller on PPC.
The way to set the NUMA node is through the numa_node option of
spapr-pci-host-bridge device. However for the implicit PHB, the only way
to set the numa_node is from the -global option. The -global option applies
to all the PHBs unless explicitly specified with the option on the
respective PHB of CLI. The default PHB has the emulated devices only, so
the patch prevents setting the NUMA node for the default PHB.

At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
resulting XML would appear as:
<memory model='nvdimm'>
<source>
<path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
<node>0</node>
</target>
<address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
</memory>
So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.

Now that QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_PCI_BRIDGE is no longer checked
unless a pci-bridge is really part of the configuration,
and most uses of the legacy PCI controller combo have been
dropped from tests that use PCIe machine types, we can
drop the corresponding capabilities from a lot of test
cases.
This part introduces new xml elements for file based
memorybacking support and their parsing.
(It allows vhost-user to be used without hugepages.)
New xml elements:
<memoryBacking>
<source type="file|anonymous"/>
<access mode="shared|private"/>
<allocation mode="immediate|ondemand"/>
</memoryBacking>
Not only we should set the MTU on the host end of the device but
also let qemu know what MTU did we set.
