Subject: [RFC PATCH] irq: 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 the hypervisor to handle level
triggered device interrupts as edge interrupts, by giving the guest
control of de-asserting and unmasking the interrupt line.

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.

This is the current draft of the IRQ bypass manager, I've made the
following changes:

 - Incorporated Eric's extensions (I would welcome Sign-offs from all
   involved in the development, especially Eric - I've gone ahead and
   added Linaro copyright for the contributions so far)
 - Module support with module reference tracking
 - might_sleep() as suggested by Paolo
 - kerneldoc as suggested by Paolo
 - Renamed file s/bypass/irqbypass/ because a module named "bypass"
   is strange

Issues:
 - The update() callback is defined but not used
 - We can't have *all* the callbacks be optional.  I assume add/del
   are required
 - Naming consistency, stop is to start as suspend is to resume, not
   stop/resume
 - Callback descriptions including why we need separate stop/start
   hooks when it seems like the callee could reasonably assume such
   around the add/del callbacks
 - Need functional prototypes for both PI and forwarding
