da3e04b26fd8d15b344944504d5ffa9c5f20b54b vfio/pci: Make vfio cdev pre-openable by passing a file handle
This gives management tools like libvirt a chance to open the vfio
cdev with privilege and pass FD to qemu. This way qemu never needs
to have privilege to open a VFIO or iommu cdev node.
Together with the earlier support of pre-opening /dev/iommu device,
now we have full support of passing a vfio device to unprivileged
qemu by management tool. This mode is no more considered for the
legacy backend. So let's remove the "TODO" comment.
Add helper functions vfio_device_set_fd() and vfio_device_get_name()
to set fd and get device name, they will also be used by other vfio
devices.
There is no easy way to check if a device is mdev with FD passing,
so fail the x-balloon-allowed check unconditionally in this case.
There is also no easy way to get BDF as name with FD passing, so
we fake a name by VFIO_FD[fd].
