Memory aliases with different memory type is a problem for guest. For the guest
without assigned device, the memory type of guest memory would always been the
same as host(WB); but for the assigned device, some part of memory may be used
as DMA and then set to uncacheable memory type(UC/WC), which would be a conflict of
host memory type then be a potential issue.
Snooping control can guarantee the cache correctness of memory go through the
DMA engine of VT-d.

kvm->slots_lock is outer to kvm->lock, so take slots_lock
in kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device() before taking kvm->lock,
rather than taking it in kvm_iommu_map_memslots().

Impact: file renamed
The code in the vtd.c file can be reused for other IOMMUs as well. So
rename it to make it clear that it handle more than VT-d.
