Subject: [PATCH v5 4/4] vfio: convey kvm that the vfio-pci device is wc safe

From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita@...dia.com>

The code to map the MMIO in S2 as NormalNC is enabled when conveyed
that the device is WC safe using a new flag VM_VFIO_ALLOW_WC.

Make vfio-pci set the VM_VFIO_ALLOW_WC flag.

This could be extended to other devices in the future once that
is deemed safe.
