vfio/pci: Virtualize Maximum Payload Size
With virtual PCI-Express chipsets, we now see userspace/guest drivers trying to match the physical MPS setting to a virtual downstream port. Of course a lone physical device surrounded by virtual interconnects cannot make a correct decision for a proper MPS setting. Instead, let's virtualize the MPS control register so that writes through to hardware are disallowed. Userspace drivers like QEMU assume they can write anything to the device and we'll filter out anything dangerous. Since mismatched MPS can lead to AER and other faults, let's add it to the kernel side rather than relying on userspace virtualization to handle it.
