libxl: Introduce pci_assignable_add and pci_assignable_remove
Introduce libxl helper functions to prepare devices to be passed through to guests. This is meant to replace of all the manual sysfs commands which are currently required. pci_assignable_add accepts a BDF for a device and will: * Unbind a device from its current driver, if any * If "rebind" is set, it will store the path of the driver from which we unplugged it in /libxl/pciback/$BDF/driver_path * If create a slot for it in pciback if one doesn't yet exist * Bind the device to pciback At this point it will show up in pci_assignable_list, and is ready to be passed through to a guest. pci_assignable_remove accepts a BDF for a device and will: * Unbind the device from pciback * Remove the slot from pciback * If "rebind" is set, and /libx/pciback/$BDF/driver_path exists, it will attempt to rebind the device to its original driver. Both functions are idempotent: if the desired end state has already been reached, they return SUCCESS. NB that "$BDF" in this case uses '-' instead of ':' and '.', because ':' and '.' are illegal characters in xenstore paths.
