I would like to justify this FFe as this is an important feature for Ubuntu 16.04/ppc64el

[Technical Justification]
This feature enables GPU pass through to work decently on Ubuntu KVM. Without this feature, GPU pass through works with a very bad performance, which is completely unusable in production. This feature enables a huge performance improvement, allowing Ubuntu KVM deployment in production environments.

[ Customer justification]
There are numerous partners interested in this feature, and a real set of customers that will be taking benefit directly if this feature makes Ubuntu 16.04 release.

[Testing plan]
This set of patch is being tested internally at IBM.
