We introduce the VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_NOEXEC flag to the VFIO dma map call,
and expose its availability via the capability VFIO_DMA_NOEXEC_IOMMU.
This way the user can control whether the XN flag will be set on the
requested mappings. The IOMMU_NOEXEC flag needs to be available for all
the IOMMUs of the container used.
