[RFC 4/4] virtio: Add platform specific DMA API translation for virito devices

This adds a hook which a platform can define in order to allow it to
override virtio device's DMA OPS irrespective of whether it has the
flag VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM set or not. We want to use this to do
bounce-buffering of data on the new secure pSeries platform, currently
under development, where a KVM host cannot access all of the memory
space of a secure KVM guest.  The host can only access the pages which
the guest has explicitly requested to be shared with the host, thus
the virtio implementation in the guest has to copy data to and from
shared pages.

With this hook, the platform code in the secure guest can force the
use of swiotlb for virtio buffers, with a back-end for swiotlb which
will use a pool of pre-allocated shared pages.  Thus all data being
sent or received by virtio devices will be copied through pages which
the host has access to.
