with such a shared memory device, a vm can share data with other
vms or with the host via memory
one of the use cases is looking-glass[1] with pci-passthrough, which copies
the guest fb to the host and you get a high-speed, low-latency
display client for the vm
on vm stop we delete the file again

Win7 is very picky about pcie assignments and fails with
'error 12' the way we add hospci devices.
To combat that, we simply give the hostpci device a normal port
instead.
Start with address 0x10, so that we have space before those devices,
and between them and the ones configured in pve-q35.cfg should we
need it in the future.

On arm we start off with a pcie bridge pcie.0. We need a
keyboard in addition to the tablet device, and we need to
connect both to an 'ehci' controller.
To do all this, we also pass the $arch variable through a
whole lot of function calls to ultimately also adapt the
hotplug code to take care of the new keyboard device.

we change 'vga' to a property string and add a 'memory' property
with this, the user can better control the memory given to the virtual
gpu, this is especially useful for spice/qxl since high resolutions need
more memory
