Currently, all virtio devices bypass IOMMU completely. This is because
address_space_memory is assumed and used during DMA emulation. This
patch converts the virtio core API to use DMA API. This idea is

- introducing a new transport specific helper to query the dma address
   space. (only pci version is implemented).
- query and use this address space during virtio device guest memory
   accessing when iommu platform (VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM) was enabled
   for this device.

One thing I'm a bit worried about is that we're introducing a check
even if we know that the device will never support
VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM (i.e. virtio-ccw). The qom incantations will
add cycles to any invocation of this.

Is the address space likely to change during device lifetime? Can we
cache it in some way?


I think so, we can cache it in vdev and set it during features set.

Then we can avoid qom stuffs during data path.
