Rong Liu d51ac9d368 hv: ensure PTM root is always enabled in hw
For post launch VM, ACRN supports PTM under these conditions:
1. HW implements a simple PTM hierarchy: PTM requestor device (ep) is
directly connected to PTM root capable root port. Or
2. ptm requestor itself is root complex integrated ep.
Currently acrn doesn't support emulation of other type of PTM hiearchy, such
as if there is an intermediate PTM node (for example, switch) inbetween
PTM requestor and PTM root.
To avoid VM touching physical hardware, acrn hv ensures PTM is always enabled
in the hardware.
During hv's pci init, if root port is ptm capable,
hv will enable PTM on that root port.  In addition,
log error (and don't enable PTM) if ptm root
capability is on intermediate node other than root port.

V2:
 - Modify commit messages to clarify the limitation
of current PTM implementation.
 - Fix code that may fail FUSA
 - Remove pci_ptm_info() and put info log inside pci_enable_ptm_root().

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
