[PATCH] xen/pass-through: don't create needless register group

[Chuck Zmudzinski]

Currently we are creating a register group for the Intel IGD OpRegion
for every device we pass through, but the XEN_PCI_INTEL_OPREGION
register group is only valid for an Intel IGD. Add a check to make
sure the device is an Intel IGD and a check that the administrator has
enabled gfx_passthru in the xl domain configuration. Require both checks
to be true before creating the register group. Use the existing
is_igd_vga_passthrough() function to check for a graphics device from
any vendor and that the administrator enabled gfx_passthru in the xl
domain configuration, but further require that the vendor be Intel,
because only Intel IGD devices have an Intel OpRegion. These are the
same checks hvmloader and libxl do to determine if the Intel OpRegion
needs to be mapped into the guest's memory.

Could you move that comment? I think it would make more sense to comment
the "reg_grp_offset=XEN_PCI_INTEL_OPREGION" line now that the `if` block
also skip setting up the group on non-intel devices.

OK. I just e-mailed interested parties v2 that moves the comment
and mentions that the comment is moved in the commit message.

Best Regards,
