Subject: [v2 17/25] KVM: kvm-vfio: User API for VT-d Posted-Interrupts

This patch adds and documents a new attribute
KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_POSTING_IRQ in KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE group.
This new attribute is used for VT-d Posted-Interrupts.

When guest OS changes the interrupt configuration for an
assigned device, such as, MSI/MSIx data/address fields,
QEMU will use this IRQ attribute to tell KVM to update the
related IRTE according the VT-d Posted-Interrrupts Specification,
such as, the guest vector should be updated in the related IRTE.
