vfio: Improve error reporting when MMIO region mapping fails

When the IOMMU address space width is smaller than the physical
address width, a MMIO region of a device can fail to map because the
region is outside the supported IOVA ranges of the VM. In this case,
PCI peer-to-peer transactions on BARs are not supported. This can
occur with the 39-bit IOMMU address space width, as can be the case on
some Intel consumer processors, or when using a vIOMMU device with
default settings.

The current error message is unclear, improve it and also change the
error report to a warning because it is a non fatal condition for the
VM. To prevent excessive log messages, restrict these recurring DMA
mapping errors to a single warning at runtime.
