The existing IOMMU code takes/releases ownership over the existing IOMMU
tables created by the platform code, i.e. the tables remain in memory
all the time. Also, the existing IOMMU requires VFIO_IOMMU_ENABLE call to
start working as that's where we check the rlimit for locked pages.

New IOMMU will take over the IOMMU group completely which means the IOMMU
tables created by the platform code are going to be disposed and VFIO
will create its own tables. Also, with the DMA memory pre-registration
feature, the userspace will not need to call VFIO_IOMMU_ENABLE as
the locked pages accounting will be done by
VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_REGISTER_MEMORY.

In order to inform the userspace that VFIO supports new capabilities,
this adds a new SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 type.

Shouldn't we block some of these new features on v1?  Otherwise v1 now
supports them too and by the property of "we don't break userspace" v1
and v2 are now one-in-the-same.  You'd need to support everything
through both versions.  If that's what you intend to do, maybe this
should be a capability rather than an IOMMU type.
