The vGIC, as architected by ARM, allows a virtual interrupt to
trigger the deactivation of a physical interrupt. This allows
the following interrupt to be delivered without requiring an exit.
However, some implementations have choosen not to implement this,
meaning that we will need some unsavoury workarounds to deal with this.
On detecting such a case, taint the kernel and spit a nastygram.
We'll deal with this in later patches.

As it turns out, not all the interrupt controllers are able to
expose a vGIC maintenance interrupt that can be independently
enabled/disabled.
And to be fair, it doesn't really matter as all we require is
for the interrupt to kick us out of guest mode out way or another.
To that effect, add gic_kvm_info.no_maint_irq_mask for an interrupt
controller to advertise the lack of masking.

The vGIC advertising code is unsurprisingly very much tied to
the GIC implementations. However, we are about to extend the
support to lesser implementations.
Let's dissociate the vgic registration from the GIC code and
move it into KVM, where it makes a bit more sense. This also
allows us to mark the gic_kvm_info structures as __initdata.
