[PATCH v2 10/10] vfio: Disable only uncoordinated discards |

We support coordinated discarding of RAM using the RamDiscardMgr. Let's
unlock support for coordinated discards, keeping uncoordinated discards
(e.g., via virtio-balloon) disabled.
This unlocks virtio-mem + vfio. Note that vfio used via "nvme://" by the
block layer has to be implemented/unlocked separately. For now,
virtio-mem only supports x86-64 - spapr IOMMUs are not tested/affected.
Note: The block size of a virtio-mem device has to be set to sane sizes,
depending on the maximum hotplug size - to not run out of vfio mappings.
The default virtio-mem block size is usually in the range of a couple of
MBs. The maximum number of mapping is 64k, shared with other users.
Assume you want to hotplug 256GB using virtio-mem - the block size would
have to be set to at least 8 MiB (resulting in 32768 separate mappings).
