While using a pci device (GPU) through the vfio-pci passthrough in QEMU
VM, host can mmap the PCI device which used by the guest through sysfs.
In this case, when the guest used the PCI device, the host could also
access the data stored in the PCI device memory.
Regarding this, there is a routine to check IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE through
iomem_is_exclusive() in pci_mmap_resource() of pci-sysfs.c, but vfio-pci
driver doesn't seem to set that flag.
Wouldn't it be better to use pci_request_selected_regions_exclusive() to
set the IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE flag rather than
pci_request_selected_regions() that was used previously?
