pci_iomap could look at the bus device that the PCI function sits on.
If it detects a PCI bridge that has a certain property (config space
setting, vendor/device ID, ...), it assumes that the device itself
will be emulated and it should set the address flag for IO_COND.

This implies that all pass-through devices need to be on a different
PCI bridge from the emulated devices, which should be fairly
straightforward to enforce.
