Juergen Gross b057878b2a xen/pciback: support driver_override 
Support the driver_override scheme introduced with commit 782a985d7a
("PCI: Introduce new device binding path using pci_dev.driver_override")

As pcistub_probe() is called for all devices (it has to check for a
match based on the slot address rather than device type) it has to
check for driver_override set to "pciback" itself.

Up to now for assigning a pci device to pciback you need something like:

echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:07\:10.0/driver/unbind
echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/new_slot
echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe

while with the patch you can use the same mechanism as for similar
drivers like pci-stub and vfio-pci:

echo pciback > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:07\:10.0/driver_override
echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:07\:10.0/driver/unbind
echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe

So e.g. libvirt doesn't need special handling for pciback.
