This controller is supported by Windows and Linux (if you specify WWNs). It's also used by VMWare and VirtualBox. Fixes QubesOS/qubes-issues#3068

According to travis, this does not compile. Unfortunately there is no full log. |
The SeaBIOS build provided by Fedora 25 is too old to support the mptsas1068 scsi controller. So we build a newer one together with the linux stubdom qemu (binary included in xen-hvm-stubdom-linux).

@HW42 what driver are you using for mptsas1068 ? did you test it also for 64bit version of Windows 7? |

The 'mptsas1068' scsi controller seems to work fine with Windows (QubesOS/qubes-issues#3068) and Linux (if you assign some WWNs to the disks). So switch to it. Since this requires a newer SeaBIOS for booting this PR depends on QubesOS/qubes-vmm-xen-stubdom-linux#5.
This breaks booting with UEFI. But given that we don't use this anywhere yet, the Windows support is more important. Fixing the UEFI support is probably not hard since it can use the disk and boots if you manually enter the path of the grub exe. But for some reason it don't want to automatically start it.
