s390 needs this series of three patches in order to enable a non-blocking
path for irqfd injection on s390 via kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic(). Before
these changes, kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic() would just return -EWOULDBLOCK
and place all interrupts on the global work queue, which must subsequently
be processed by a different thread. This series of patches implements an
s390 version of inatomic and is relevant to virtio-blk and virtio-net and
was tested against virtio-pci and virtio-ccw.

The inatomic fast path cannot lose control since it is running with
interrupts disabled. This meant making the following changes that exist on
the slow path today. First, the adapter_indicators page needs to be mapped
since it is accessed with interrupts disabled, so we added map/unmap
functions. Second, access to shared resources between the fast and slow
paths needed to be changed from mutex and semaphores to spin_lock's.
Finally, the memory allocation on the slow path utilizes GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT
but we had to implement the fast path with GFP_ATOMIC allocation. Each of
these enhancements were required to prevent blocking on the fast inject
path.

s390 doesn't support a PREEMPT_RT kernel and this patch doesn't either.
Given this fact, we are not using raw_spin_lock instead we are using
regular spin_lock.

Statistical counters have been added to enable analysis of irq injection on
the fast path and slow path including io_390_inatomic, io_flic_inject_airq,
io_set_adapter_int and io_390_inatomic_no_inject. And
counters have been added to analyze map/unmap of the adapter_indicator
pages in non-Secure Execution environments and to track fencing of Fast
Inject in Secure Execution environments. In order to take advantage of this
kernel series with virtio-pci, a QEMU that includes the
's390x/pci: set kvm_msi_via_irqfd_allowed' fix is needed.  Additionally,
the guest xml needs a thread pool and threads explicitly assigned per disk
device using the common way of defining threads for disks.

Patch 1 enables map/unmap of adapter indicator pages but for Secure
Execution environments it avoids the long term mapping.
