[PATCH v2 2/2] Improve legacy vbios handling



The current method of getting the vbios is broken - it just isn't working on 
any device I've tested - the reason
for this is explained in the previous patch. The vbios is polymorphic and 
getting a proper unmodified copy is
often not possible without reverse engineering the firmware. We don't need an 
unmodified copy for most purposes -
an unmodified copy is only needed for initializing the bios framebuffer and 
providing the bios with a corrupted
copy of the rom won't do any damage as the bios will just ignore the rom.

After the i915 driver takes over the vbios is only needed for reading some 
metadata/configuration stuff etc...
I've tested that not having any kind of vbios in the guest actually works fine 
but on older generations of IGD
there are some slight hiccups. To maximize compatibility the best approach is 
to just copy the results of the vbios
execution directly to the guest. It turns out the vbios is always present on an 
hardcoded memory range in a reserved
memory range from real mode - all we need to do is to memcpy it into the guest.

The following patch does 2 things:
1) When pci_assign_dev_load_option_rom fails to read the vbios from sysfs(this 
works only when the igd is not the
boot gpu - this is unlikely to happen) it falls back to using /dev/mem to copy 
the vbios directly to the guest.
Using /dev/mem should be fine as there is more xen specific pci code which also 
relies on /dev/mem.
2) When dealing with IGD in the more generic code we skip the allocation of the 
rom resource - the reason for this is to prevent
a malicious guest from modifying the vbios in the host -> this is needed as 
someone might try to pwn the i915 driver in the host by doing so
(attach igd to guest, guest modifies vbios, the guest is terminated and the idg 
is reattached to the host, i915 driver in the host uses data from the modified 
vbios).
This is also needed to not overwrite the proper shadow copy made before.

I've tested this patch and it works fine - the guest isn't complaining about 
the missing vbios tables and the pci config
space in the guest looks fine.
