Subject: [PATCH 4/5] virt: add Bao I/O dispatcher driver

From: João Peixoto <joaopeixoto@...x.tech>

Introduce the Bao I/O Dispatcher, a kernel module that can be loaded
into backend VMs. It provides the bridge between the Bao hypervisor
Remote I/O system (Bao's mechanism for forwarding I/O requests from
frontend VMs to backend VMs) and the VirtIO backend device, offering
a unified API to support various VirtIO backends.

This patch includes:
    - Architecture-specific headers for ARM, ARM64, and RISC-V
    - Driver framework in drivers/virt/bao/ including dm, driver, intc,
    io_client, io_dispatcher, ioctls, ioeventfd, and irqfd
    - Kconfig and Makefile entries to enable building the module
    - UAPI header for userspace API exposure
    - Documentation update for ioctl number references
