We introduce a new IOMMU Memory Region attribute,
IOMMU_ATTR_HW_NESTED_PAGING that tells whether the virtual
IOMMU relies on physical IOMMU HW nested paging capability
when protecting host assigned devices.
Current Intel virtual IOMMU device supports "Caching
Mode" and does not require 2 stages at physical level to be
integrated with VFIO. However SMMUv3 does not implement such
"caching mode" and requires to use HW nested paging.
As such SMMUv3 is the first IOMMU device to advertise this
attribute.

v3 -> v4:
- s/IOMMU_ATTR_VFIO_NESTED/IOMMU_ATTR_HW_NESTED_PAGING
- add comments related to the existing attributes
- fix space after the cast
