Subject: [PATCH V4 0/2] gpio: Add virtio based driver

Hello,

This adds Virtio GPIO driver based on the proposed specification [1].

The specification for basic GPIO operations is already reviewed by Linus and
Arnd, while the IRQ stuff is still under discussion and not finalized.

I am sharing the code, so everyone gets more clarity on how it will work
eventually in Linux.

I have tested this patchset with Qemu guest with help of the libgpiod utility.
I have also tested basic handling of interrupts on the guest side. It works as
expected.

The host side virtio-backend isn't ready yet and my tests only tested the flow
control between guest and host, but didn't play with real GPIO pins.  That will
be done once I have a working backend in place (WIP).

V3->V4:
- Lots of changes, as the specification changed too much. Better forget
  everything we have done until now :)
