Hello all,

This patch tries to solve a problem whereby real AMD IOMMUs exhibit both PCI and Platform device properties. AMD IOMMU properties that conflict with conventional PCI devices' features include the fact that its not a BusMaster device and reserves MMIO region without a BAR register among others.

There is some already ongoing work on Intel IOMMU Interrupt remapping with implements an IOMMU base class[1], as a platform device(which means the moment I inherit from this class my device loses it's PCI properties). I am therefore forced to find a way to combine both PCI and platform features(which I had previously avoided) into AMD IOMMU.
                                                X86-IOMMU(common code)
                                                    |
                                                    |
                                                   / \
                                                  /   \
                                        Intel IOMMU   AMD IOMMU

This patch implements a stripped down sample of how I plan to solve this issue. It basically implements PCI device which serves to 'steal' PCI config space while the main device remains a platform device. The platform device maintains a reference to the PCI device and hence the relevant PCI config space. This device will also require [2] to work.

Looking forward to your comments!
