This patch introduces a new iommu_op to facilitate a per-implementation
quarantine set up, and then further code for x86 implementations
(amd and vtd) to set up a read-only scratch page to serve as the source
for DMA reads whilst a device is assigned to dom_io. DMA writes will
continue to fault as before.

The reason for doing this is that some hardware may continue to re-try
DMA (despite FLR) in the event of an error, or even BME being cleared, and
will fail to deal with DMA read faults gracefully. Having a scratch page
mapped will allow pending DMA reads to complete and thus such buggy
hardware will eventually be quiesced.

NOTE: These modifications are restricted to x86 implementations only as
      the buggy h/w I am aware of is only used with Xen in an x86
      environment. ARM may require similar code but, since I am not
      aware of the need, this patch does not modify any ARM implementation.
