PCI: Expose PCIe Resizable BAR support via sysfs
Add a simple sysfs interface to Resizable BAR support, largely for the
purposes of assigning such devices to a VM through VFIO. Resizable BARs
present a difficult feature to expose to a VM through emulation, as
resizing a BAR is done on the host. It can fail, and often does, but we
have no means via emulation of a PCIe REBAR capability to handle the error
cases.
A vfio-pci specific ioctl interface is also cumbersome as there are often
multiple devices within the same bridge aperture and handling them is a
challenge. In the interface proposed here, expanding a BAR potentially
requires such devices to be soft-removed during the resize operation and
rescanned after, in order for all the necessary resources to be released.
A pci-sysfs interface is also more universal than a vfio specific
interface.
Please see the ABI documentation update for usage.
