[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Fix race between device rebind and kvm cleanup

Certain hypervisors (like qemu/kvm) map the PCI bar(s) on
the host when doing device passthrough.  This can lead to a race
condition where the hypervisor is still cleaning up the device while
libvirt is trying to re-attach it to the host device driver.  To avoid
this situation, we look through /proc/iomem, and if the hypervisor is
still holding onto the bar (denoted by the string in the matcher variable),
then we can wait around a bit for that to clear up.
