[PATCH] Ensure pci transactions coming from PLX NTB are handled when IOMMU is turned on

The PLX PEX NTB forwards DMA transactions using Requester ID's that don't exist as
PCI devices. The devfn for a transaction is used as an index into a lookup table
storing the origin of a transaction on the other side of the bridge.

This patch aliases all possible devfn's to the NTB device so that any transaction
coming in is governed by the mappings for the NTB.
