This short series adds support for exposing PCI option ROMs on
pass-through devices.  I'm hoping that someone with more BIOS-foo
can make use of this to dynamically load option ROMs from within
the BIOS such that we might be able to boot from a pass-through
device.  I guess it's theoretically possible today, but the chance
of finding a server class device with a ROM small enough to
pre-load into the necessary address space is pretty slim.
