Subject: [KVM PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: export lockless GSI attribute

Certain GSI's support lockless injecton, but we have no way to detect
which ones at the GSI level.  Knowledge of this attribute will be
useful later in the series so that we can optimize irqfd injection
paths for cases where we know the code will not sleep.  Therefore,
we provide an API to query a specific GSI.
