Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Use MMCONFIG for all PCI config space accesses

Using MMCONFIG instead of I/O ports cuts the number of config space
accesses in half, which is faster on KVM and opens the door for
additional optimizations such as Vitaly's "[PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: KVM
MEM_PCI_HOLE memory":
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20200728143741.2718593-1-vkuznets@redhat.com

However, this change will not bring significant performance improvement
unless it is running on x86 within a hypervisor. Moreover, allowing
MMCONFIG access for addresses < 256 can be dangerous for some devices:
see commit a0ca99096094 ("PCI x86: always use conf1 to access config
space below 256 bytes"). That is why a special feature flag is needed.

Introduce KVM_FEATURE_PCI_GO_MMCONFIG, which can be enabled when the
configuration is known to be safe (e.g. in QEMU).
