Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/3] vfio: Use capability chains to handle device specific irq

Caps the number of irqs with fixed indexes and uses capability chains
to chain device specific irqs.

VFIO vGPU leverages this mechanism to trigger primary plane and cursor
plane page flip event to the user space.
