Wire up support for DMA for the case where the vfio-user client does not
provide mmap()-able file descriptors, but DMA requests must be performed
via the VFIO-user protocol. This installs an indirect memory region,
which already works for pci_dma_{read,write}, and pci_dma_map works
thanks to the existing DMA bounce buffering support.
Note that while simple scenarios work with this patch, there's a known
race condition in libvfio-user that will mess up the communication
channel. See https://github.com/nutanix/libvfio-user/issues/279 for
details as well as a proposed fix.
