[RFC PATCH] vfio/type1: Do not support IOMMUs that allow bypass

[Alex Williamson]

We can only provide isolation if DMA is forced through the IOMMU
aperture.  Don't allow type1 to be used if this is not the case.

Eric, I see a number of IOMMU drivers enable this, do the ones you
care about for ARM set geometry.force_aperture?  Thanks,

Alex
