Subject: [PATCH] qemu: Prefer VFIO for PCI device passthrough
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1001738
Prefer using VFIO (if available) to the legacy KVM device passthrough.
With this patch a PCI passthrough device without the driver configured
will be started with VFIO if it's available on the host. If not legacy
KVM passthrough is checked and error is reported if it's not available.
(cherry picked from commit f094aaac48a6bbeef87a4df0345dfe2964297298)
