[RFC PATCH v2 0/2] Attempt to fix DMA reentrancy issues

[Alexander Bulekov]

Here's my shot at fixing dma-reentracy issues. This patch adds a flag to
the DeviceState, which is set/checked when we call an accessor
associated with the device's IO MRs.

The problem, in short, as I understand it: For the vast majority of
cases, we want to prevent a device from accessing it's own PIO/MMIO
regions over DMA.

V2: Try to fix reentrancies initiated by DMA accesses in BHs
