PCI: Add support for multiple DMA aliases
Solve IOMMU support issues with PCIe non-transparent bridges that use Requester ID look-up tables (RID-LUT), e.g., the PEX8733. The NTB connects devices in two independent PCI domains. Devices separated by the NTB are not able to discover each other. A PCI packet being forwared from one domain to another has to have its RID modified so it appears on correct bus and completions are forwarded back to the original domain through the NTB. The RID is translated using a preprogrammed table (LUT) and the PCI packet propagates upstream away from the NTB. If the destination system has IOMMU enabled, the packet will be discarded because the new RID is unknown to the IOMMU. Adding a DMA alias for the new RID allows IOMMU to properly recognize the packet. Each device behind the NTB has a unique RID assigned in the RID-LUT. The current DMA alias implementation supports only a single alias, so it's not possible to support mutiple devices behind the NTB when IOMMU is enabled. Enable all possible aliases on a given bus (256) that are stored in a bitset. Alias devfn is directly translated to a bit number. The bitset is not allocated for devices that have no need for DMA aliases.
