Any hardware that can potentially generate DMA has to be locked down from
userspace in order to avoid it being possible for an attacker to cause
arbitrary kernel behaviour. Default to paranoid - in future we can
potentially relax this for sufficiently IOMMU-isolated devices.

As noted here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908888

this breaks pci passthru with QEMU.  The suggestion in the bug is to move
the check from read/write to open, but sysfs makes that somewhat
difficult.  The open code is part of the core sysfs functionality shared
with the majority of sysfs files, so adding a check there would restrict
things that clearly don't need to be restricted.

Kyle had the idea to add a cap field to the attribute structure, and do
a capable check if that is set.  That would allow for a more generic
usage of capabilities in sysfs code, at the cost of slightly increasing
the structure size and open path.  That seems somewhat promising if we
stick with capabilities.

I would love to just squarely blame capabilities for causing this, but we
can't just replace it with an efi_enabled(EFI_SECURE_BOOT) check because
of the sysfs open case.  I'm not sure there are great answers here.
