Support identity domains, allowing to only enable IOMMU protection for a

runtime (/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*/type = identity).

I put this in my branch so it can get testing under linux-next,
but pls notice if the ballot does not conclude in time
for the merge window I won't send it to Linus.

Patches 1-2 support identity domains using the optional
VIRTIO_IOMMU_F_BYPASS_CONFIG feature. The feature bit is not yet in the
spec, see [1] for the latest proposal.

Patches 3-5 add a fallback to identity mappings, when the feature is not
supported.

Note that this series doesn't touch the global bypass bit added by
VIRTIO_IOMMU_F_BYPASS_CONFIG. All endpoints managed by the IOMMU should
be attached to a domain, so global bypass isn't in use after endpoints
are probed. Before that, the global bypass policy is decided by the
hypervisor and firmware. So I don't think Linux needs to touch the
global bypass bit, but there are some patches available on my
virtio-iommu/bypass branch [2] to test it.

QEMU patches are on my virtio-iommu/bypass branch [3] (and the list)
