[SeaBIOS] [RFC PATCH] fw/pci: Add support for mapping Intel IGD OpRegion via QEMU

The proposed IGD OpRegion support in QEMU via vfio maps the host
OpRegion into VM system memory at the address written to the ASL
Storage register (0xFC).  The OpRegion contains a 16-byte signature
followed by a 4-byte size field.  Therefore SeaBIOS can allocate a
buffer of the typical size (8KB), this results in a matching e820
reserved entry for the range, then write the buffer address to the ASL
Storage register, blinking the OpRegion into the VM address space.  At
that point SeaBIOS can validate the signature and size and remap if
necessary.  If the OpRegion is larger than 8KB, this would result in
any conflicting ranges being temporarily mapped with the OpRegion,
which probably needs further discussion on what that could break.
Other options might be to use the same algorithm with an obscenely
sized initial buffer to make sure we do not overlap, always
re-allocating the proper sized buffer, or perhaps we could pass the
OpRegion itself or information about the OpRegion through fw_cfg.

With the posted kernel series[1] and QEMU series[2] (on top of Gerd's
IGD patches[3]), this makes the OpRegion available to the VM and
tracing shows that the guest driver does access it.
