This is v5 of a series which introduces tools/testing/selftests/kvm/irq_test.c
in KVM selftests. This test exercises the delivery of interrupts (both
emulated via eventfd and real from a VFIO device) to guest vCPUs. Beyond basic
injection, the series adds coverage for several complex scenarios, including:
- Dynamic updates to KVM's GSI routing table while interrupts are active.
- Waking up halted vCPUs via interrupts.
- Stressing interrupt delivery during random host IRQ affinity changes.
- Stressing interrupt delivery during random vCPU thread migration across
  physical CPUs.
- Testing non-postable interrupt remapping (using NMIs to force transitions).
- Supporting both xAPIC and x2APIC modes in the guest.

The series also links the VFIO selftests library into KVM selftests to enable
testing of VFIO-KVM interactions.

The test can optionally use a PCI device bound to vfio-pci to test physical
device interrupts. If using a device, it can be invoked by passing the BDF to
the VFIO selftests setup script, and then running the test with the device BDF
passed via the -d option:
$ ./tools/testing/selftests/vfio/scripts/setup.sh 0000:6a:01.0
$ tools/testing/selftests/kvm/irq_test -d 0000:6a:01.0

This test only supports x86. Testing physical device interrupts (-d argument)
requires a device with a supported VFIO selftest driver. Currently supported
devices include:
- Intel DSA (Data Streaming Accelerator), 8086:0b25
- Intel IOAT (I/O Acceleration Technology), 8086:2021

The test can be run with following command-line arguments allow for broad
coverage of the interrupt delivery path:
-a: Random IRQ Affinity. Randomly affinitizes the device IRQ to different host
    CPUs to verify stable delivery during interrupt steering changes.
-b: Block vCPUs. Causes vCPUs to HLT instead of spinning, verifying that
    Posted-interrupt wakeup (PIW) correctly kicks blocked vCPUs.
-c: Clear GSI Routes. Periodically destroys/recreates KVM's GSI routing table to
    verify handling of dynamic IRQ updates.
-d: Device MSI Triggers. Uses the physical device to trigger MSIs instead of
    eventfd emulation (requires a supported device driver).
-i: IRQ Count. Sets the number of interrupts to generate (default 1000).
-m: vCPU Migration. Migrates vCPUs to random physical CPUs to verify that
    posted interrupts follow the vCPU across host cores.
-n: NMI Delivery. Routes interrupts as NMIs into the guest to verify the
    VFIO-NMI delivery path.
-v: vCPU Count. Distributes interrupts across multiple vCPUs via round-robin
    routing.
-x: xAPIC Mode. Forces legacy xAPIC mode to verify compatibility.
