MSI-X tables are not allowed to be mmapped in vfio-pci

This will cause some performance issues when when PCI
adapters have critical registers in the same page as
the MSI-X table.
However, some kind of PCI host bridge such as IODA bridge
on Power support filtering of MSIs, which can ensure that a
given pci device can only shoot the MSIs assigned for it.
So we think it's safe to expose the MSI-X table to userspace
if filtering of MSIs is supported because the exposed MSI-X
table can't be used to do harm to other memory space.
To support this case, this patch adds a pci_host_bridge
attribute to indicate if this PCI host bridge supports
filtering of MSIs.

enum iommu_cap {
IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY, /* IOMMU can enforce cache coherent DMA
transactions */

IOMMU_CAP_NOEXEC, /* IOMMU_NOEXEC flag */

I saw this flag had been enabled in x86 and ARM arch.
I'm not sure whether we can mmap MSI-X table in those archs. I just
verify it on PPC64 arch.
