vfio: Define device specific region type capability To this point vfio has only provided an interface to the user that allows them to determine the number of regions and specifics about each region. What the region represents is left to the vfio bus driver. vfio-pci chooses to use fixed indexes for fixed resources, index 0 is BAR0, 1 is BAR1,... 7 is config space, etc. This works pretty well since all PCI devices have these regions, even if they don't necessarily populate all of them. Then we start to add things like VGA, which only certain device even support. We added this the same way, but now we've wasted a region index, and due to our offset implementation the corresponding address space, for all devices. Rather than continuing that process, let's try to make regions self describing by including a capability that defines their type. For vfio-pci we'll make the current VFIO_PCI_NUM_REGIONS fixed, defining the end of the static indexes and the beginning of self describing regions.
