Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] xen-pciback: prepare for the split for stub and PV

From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko@...m.com>

Currently PCI backend implements multiple functionalities at a time.
To name a few:
1. It is used as a database for assignable PCI devices, e.g. xl
   pci-assignable-{add|remove|list} manipulates that list. So, whenever
   the toolstack needs to know which PCI devices can be passed through
   it reads that from the relevant sysfs entries of the pciback.
2. It is used to hold the unbound PCI devices list, e.g. when passing
   through a PCI device it needs to be unbound from the relevant device
   driver and bound to pciback (strictly speaking it is not required
   that the device is bound to pciback, but pciback is again used as a
   database of the passed through PCI devices, so we can re-bind the
   devices back to their original drivers when guest domain shuts down)
3. Device reset for the devices being passed through
4. Para-virtualised use-cases support

The para-virtualised part of the driver is not always needed as some
architectures, e.g. Arm or x86 PVH Dom0, are not using backend-frontend
model for PCI device passthrough. For such use-cases make the very
first step in splitting the xen-pciback driver into two parts: Xen
PCI stub and PCI PV backend drivers.
