Sun Peng e677f9413b dm: Increase OpRegion size for bigger VBT
OpRegion: 8KB(0x2000)
[ OpRegion Header      ] Offset: 0x0
[ Mailbox #1: ACPI     ] Offset: 0x100
[ Mailbox #2: SWSCI    ] Offset: 0x200
[ Mailbox #3: ASLE     ] Offset: 0x300
[ Mailbox #4: VBT      ] Offset: 0x400
[ Mailbox #5: ASLE EXT ] Offset: 0x1C00
Extended OpRegion: 8KB(0x2000)
[ Raw VBT              ] Offset: 0x0

Generally VBT stores in MailBox4 in OpRegion which max size is 6KB.
If VBT larger than 6KB, it will be stored in extended OpRegion which
is neighborhood with legacy OpRegion. In this case, we need to
passthrough extended OpRegion also to support GVT-d feature. The
OpRegion size that we passthrough should be (OpRegion+Extended)=16KB
ASLE.rvda stores the location of VBT.
For OpRegion 2.1+: ASLE.rvda = offset to OpRegion base address
For OpRegion 2.0:  ASLE.rvda = physical address

To-do: Add support for OpRegion on some platforms(eg. APL)

ACRN Device Model

Introduction
============
The ACRN Device Model provides **device sharing** capabilities between the
Service OS and Guest OSs. It is a component that is used in conjunction with
the `ACRN Hypervisor`_ and this is installed within the Service OS. You can
find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website.
