336f308958d598f3db351bb7d94cc57b4b2d448d vfio/ap: Allow the selection of a given iommu backend
Now we support two types of iommu backends, let's add the capability
to select one of them. This depends on whether an iommufd object has
been linked with the vfio-ap device:
if the user wants to use the legacy backend, it shall not
link the vfio-ap device with any iommufd object:
-device vfio-ap,sysfsdev=/sys/bus/mdev/devices/XXX
This is called the legacy mode/backend.
If the user wants to use the iommufd backend (/dev/iommu) it
shall pass an iommufd object id in the vfio-ap device options:
-object iommufd,id=iommufd0
-device vfio-ap,sysfsdev=/sys/bus/mdev/devices/XXX,iommufd=iommufd0
