This series allows the memory_region_register_iommu_notifier()
to fail. As of now, when a MAP notifier is attempted to be
registered along with SMMUv3 or AMD IOMMU, we exit in the IOMMU
MR notify_flag_changed() callback.

In case of VFIO assigned device hotplug, this could be handled
more nicely directly within the VFIO code, simply rejecting
the hotplug without exiting. This is what the series achieves
by handling the memory_region_register_iommu_notifier() returned
value and Error object.

To propagate errors collected during vfio_listener_region_add()
we now store the error handle inside the VFIO container instead
of a returned value.

The message now is:
(QEMU) device_add id=hot0 driver=vfio-pci host=0000:89:00.0 bus=pcie.1
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "vfio 0000:89:00.0: failed
to setup container for group 2: memory listener initialization failed:
Region smmuv3-iommu-memory-region-0-6: device 01.00.0 requires iommu MAP
notifier which is not currently supported"}}

Eric

This series can be found at:
https://github.com/eauger/qemu/tree/v4.1.0_register_iommu_notifier_fail_v3

History:

v2 -> v3:
- also pass an Error handle (suggested by Peter)
- VFIO container error becomes and Error handle

v1 -> v2:
- Intel IOMMU now handles the problem differently with machine init done
  notifier and machine hotplug allowed hook.
- use assert(!ret)
- message rewording in SMMUv3
