Change the nvlist_recv() function to take additional argument that
specifies flags expected on the received nvlist. Receiving a nvlist with
different set of flags than the ones we expect might lead to undefined
behaviour, which might be potentially dangerous.
Update consumers of this and related functions and update the tests.

A late change to the SR-IOV infrastructure broke passthrough of
VFs. device_set_devclass() was being used to try to force the
ppt driver to attach to the device, but this didn't work because
the DF_FIXEDCLASS flag wasn't being set on the device, so the
ppt driver probe routine would not match when it returned
BUS_NOWILDCARD. Fix this by adding a new device function that
both sets the devclass and sets the DF_FIXEDCLASS flag, and use
that to force the ppt driver to attach to VFs.

Pass all SR-IOV configuration to the kernel using an nvlist. The
main benefit that this offers is flexibility. It allows a driver
to accept any number of parameters of any type supported by the
SR-IOV configuration infrastructure with having to make any
changes outside of the driver.
It also offers the user very fine-grained control over the
configuration of the VFs -- if they want, they can have different
configuration applied to every VF.

When creating VFs, we must size each SR-IOV BAR on the PF and
allocate a configuous I/O memory window large enough for every VF.
However, the window only needs to be aligned to a boundary equal
to the size of the window for a single VF.
When a VF attempts to allocate an I/O memory resource, we must
intercept the request in the pci driver and pass it off to the
SR-IOV code, which will allocate the correct window from the
pre-allocated memory space for the PF.
Inform the pci driver about the size and address of the BARs on
the VF when the VF is created. This is required by pciconf -b and
bhyve.

Implement the interace to create SR-IOV Virtual Functions (VFs).
When a driver registers that they support SR-IOV by calling
pci_setup_iov(), the SR-IOV code creates a new node in /dev/iov
for that device. An ioctl can be invoked on that device to
create VFs and have the driver initialize them.
At this point, allocating memory I/O windows (BARs) is not
supported.
