A nesting parent HWPT that will provide translation for an vIOMMU DMA

Allocate a virtual IOMMU object that represents the underlying
physical IOMMU's virtualization support. The vIOMMU object is a
security isolated slice of the physical IOMMU HW that is unique to a
specific VM. Operations global to the IOMMU are connected to the
vIOMMU, such as:
  - Security namespace for guest owned ID, eg guest controlled cache tags
  - Virtualization of various platforms IDs like RIDs and others
  - direct assigned invalidation queues
  - direct assigned interrupts
  - non-affiliated event reporting
  - Delivery of paravirtualized invalidation
