Commit 817dcc5368988b023c5e1d3f1444fd370c77c6a9 "pci: give each device its
own address space" did exactly what the comment suggests, it creates an
AddressSpace object for every PCI device to represent the address space
it uses for DMA.  All the objects so constructed are basically identical
to address_space_memory.

While its true that PCI devices can have different effective DMA address
spaces, they usually don't.  Further, the PCI structure already had a way
to represent its DMA address space, through its DMAContext pointer.  The
way those are assigned through an optional callback in the bus also
addresses the "FIXME: inherit memory region from bus creator".

So while its true that the DMAContext handling needs to be better
integrated with the MemoryRegion and AddressSpace handling, that commit
wasn't actually a step in the right direction for it.  Since then, the
DMAContext has been extended so it can backend onto an AddressSpace, and
thereby, a MemoryRegion.  Effectively a DMAContext is now an AddressSpace
with iommu translation handling on top.

Therefore, this patch essentially reverts the earlier commit, making all
PCI devices by default shared the global dma_context_memory which backs
onto main system memory.  Those cases which need to set up different DMA
address spaces for each PCI device should supply a suitable dma_context_fn
in the bus to correctly assign / create suitable DMAContext structures.

I think this will be handled correctly when I submit IOMMU AddressSpace
patches (next week or so).  The structure will be

        PCI device 1                           PCI device 2
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
       AddressSpace 1                          AddressSpace 2
           |                                       |
           | (enable/disable)                      | (enable/disable)
           '-------------------.  .----------------'
                               v  v
                         IOMMU AddressSpace
                                |
                                | (translation)
                                v
                           system memory

VFIO will be able to access the IOMMU AddressSpace simply via
pci_dev->iommu, and that field will be ==-identical  for different PCI
devices.

Hrm, ok.  Still seems excessively complicated, but as long as there's
a way to get from the pci device to the common address space, I can
work with that.
