[PATCH hyperv-next 5/6] arch, drivers: Add device struct bitfield to not bounce-buffer

Bounce-buffering makes the system spend more time copying
I/O data. When the I/O transaction take place between
a confidential and a non-confidential endpoints, there is
no other way around.

Introduce a device bitfield to indicate that the device
doesn't need to perform bounce buffering. The capable
device may employ it to save on copying data around.
