Commit 492855939bdb ("vfio/type1: Limit DMA mappings per container") added
a limit to the number of concurrent DMA requests for a vfio container.
However, lazy unmapping in s390 can in fact cause quite a large number of
outstanding DMA requests to build up prior to being purged, potentially
the entire guest DMA space. This results in unexpected 'VFIO_MAP_DMA
failed: No space left on device' conditions seen in QEMU.
This patch proposes to provide the DMA limit via the VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO
ioctl as a new capability. A subsequent patchset to QEMU would collect
this information and use it in s390 PCI support to tap the guest on the
shoulder before overrunning the vfio limit.
