Currently, DPDK will skip mapping some areas (or even an entire BAR)
if MSI-X table happens to be in them but is smaller than page size.
Kernels 4.16+ will allow mapping MSI-X BARs [1], and will report this
as a capability flag. Capability flags themselves are also only
supported since kernel 4.6 [2].
This commit will introduce support for checking VFIO capabilities,
and will use it to check if we are allowed to map BARs with MSI-X
tables in them, along with backwards compatibility for older
kernels, including a workaround for a variable rename in VFIO
region info structure [3].
