Peer-to-Peer DMA (P2PDMA) between two devices requires either a shared
upstream bridge or a host bridge matching pci_p2pdma_whitelist[]. In
VMware guests, passthrough devices appear directly on virtual root
buses without host bridge devices. In Hyper-V guests, each passthrough
device appears in a PCI domain of its own without a host bridge
device. Consequently, P2PDMA checks evaluate endpoint Device IDs
against the host bridge whitelist, causing P2PDMA requests to fail
regardless of host support.

This affects discrete devices such as GPUs, NICs and NVMe drives.

Add an explicit list of the Intel Xeon server generations from
Skylake-SP to Diamond Rapids to cpu_supports_p2pdma(). These are the
CPUs whose host bridges are in pci_p2pdma_whitelist[] without
restrictions. AMD Zen and newer are already covered by
cpu_supports_p2pdma(), so only Intel entries are needed.

Tested with the Intel Level Zero P2P benchmark (ze_peer) on Arc Pro B60
cards in a Linux guest on VMware ESXi 9.0 (Emerald Rapids host).

Changes in v3:
- Drop the hypervisor check and move the Xeon list into
  cpu_supports_p2pdma(), next to the AMD check, as suggested by Logan
  Gunthorpe and Leon Romanovsky [1]
- Fold the VMware and Hyper-V patches into one, as the check no longer
  depends on the hypervisor

Changes in v2:
- Replace the Skylake-and-newer threshold with an explicit list of Intel
  Xeon server generations, from Skylake-SP to Diamond Rapids (Logan
  Gunthorpe)
- Move the CONFIG_X86 #ifdef out of hypervisor_supports_p2pdma()
  (Logan Gunthorpe)
- Rebased on current mainline
