Subject: [PATCH v7 1/7] vfio: introduce a vfio_dma type field

We introduce a vfio_dma type since we will need to discriminate
different types of dma slots:
- VFIO_IOVA_USER: IOVA region used to map user vaddr
- VFIO_IOVA_RESERVED: IOVA region reserved to map host device PA such
  as MSI doorbells

Signed-off-by: Eric Auger <eric.auger@...aro.org>

---

v6 -> v7:
- add VFIO_IOVA_ANY
- do not introduce yet any VFIO_IOVA_RESERVED handling
