Hi Eric,

Add a new specific DMA_FAULT region aiming to exposed nested mode
translation faults. This region only is exposed if the device
is attached to a nested domain.

The region has a ring buffer that contains the actual fault
records plus a header allowing to handle it (tail/head indices,
max capacity, entry size). At the moment the region is dimensionned
for 512 fault records.

The macro *define VFIO_REGION_TYPE_NESTED    (2)* is in conflict with

*#define VFIO_REGION_TYPE_CCW    (2)*.
