Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 3/5] PCI: Add host bridge attribute to indicate filtering of MSIs is supported

MSI-X tables are not allowed to be mmapped in vfio-pci
driver in case that user get to touch this directly.
This will cause some performance issues when when PCI
adapters have critical registers in the same page as
the MSI-X table.

However, some kind of PCI host bridge such as IODA bridge
on Power support filtering of MSIs, which can ensure that a
given pci device can only shoot the MSIs assigned for it.
So we think it's safe to expose the MSI-X table to userspace
if filtering of MSIs is supported because the exposed MSI-X
table can't be used to do harm to other memory space.

To support this case, this patch adds a pci_host_bridge
attribute to indicate if this PCI host bridge supports
filtering of MSIs.
