Alex Williamson f73f817312 virt: IRQ bypass manager
When a physical I/O device is assigned to a virtual machine through
facilities like VFIO and KVM, the interrupt for the device generally
bounces through the host system before being injected into the VM.
However, hardware technologies exist that often allow the host to be
bypassed for some of these scenarios.  Intel Posted Interrupts allow
the specified physical edge interrupts to be directly injected into a
guest when delivered to a physical processor while the vCPU is
running.  ARM IRQ Forwarding allows forwarded physical interrupts to
be directly deactivated by the guest.

The IRQ bypass manager here is meant to provide the shim to connect
interrupt producers, generally the host physical device driver, with
interrupt consumers, generally the hypervisor, in order to configure
these bypass mechanism.  To do this, we base the connection on a
shared, opaque token.  For KVM-VFIO this is expected to be an
eventfd_ctx since this is the connection we already use to connect an
eventfd to an irqfd on the in-kernel path.  When a producer and
consumer with matching tokens is found, callbacks via both registered
participants allow the bypass facilities to be automatically enabled.
