The usual way of using a quirk's MR is to add it as a subregion of a BAR
as this is what quirks are for. However there is less than standard user
of this - NVLink2-enabled NVIDIA GPU which exposes a GPU RAM and a ATSD
64K region outside of PCI MMIO window so these MRs get the system address
space root as a parent. So when the user unplugs such device, assert
occurs:
qemu-system-ppc64: /home/aik/p/qemu/memory.c:2391: memory_region_del_subregion: Assertion `subregion->container == mr' failed.
This passes the actual parent MR to memory_region_del_subregion() in
vfio_bar_quirk_exit.

This removes an extra sanity check that a quirk has a correct parent;
I am not sure if it is very useful.
I could use the "system" MR if quirk->mem[i].container==get_system_memory()
and quirk->mem[i].container otherwise to keep that assert working.
Also this does not help with the actual device removal much because of
the closed source driver nature - the associated service
(nvidia-persistenced, responsible for onlining GPU memory) crashes
the guest system but at least the user can reboot the guest after
the crash which is not as bad as assert.
