[PATCH] hw/pci-host/gpex: Don't fault for unmapped parts of MMIO and PIO windows

[Peter Maydell]

Currently the gpex PCI controller implements no special behaviour for
guest accesses to areas of the PIO and MMIO where it has not mapped
any PCI devices, which means that for Arm you end up with a CPU
exception due to a data abort.

Most host OSes expect "like an x86 PC" behaviour, where bad accesses
like this return -1 for reads and ignore writes.  In the interests of
not being surprising, make host CPU accesses to these windows behave
as -1/discard where there's no mapped PCI device.

Not convinced that this is 6.0 material, because IMHO the
kernel shouldn't be doing this in the first place.
Do we need to have the property machinery so that old
virt-5.2 etc retain the previous behaviour ?
