When a PCI device lives behind an IOMMU, it should use 'pci_dma_*' family of

vmxnet3 was exclusively using 'cpu_physical_memory_*' family of functions which
works fine with the default QEMU setup where IOMMU is not enabled but fails
miserably when IOMMU is enabled. This commit converts all such instances in
favor of 'pci_dma_*'
