GICv3 is the ARM generic interrupt controller designed to overcome
some limits of the prevalent GICv2. Most notably it lifts the 8-CPU
limit. Though with recent patches from Marc there is support for
hosts to use a GICv3, the CPU limitation still applies to KVM guests,
since the current code emulates a GICv2 only.
Also, GICv2 backward compatibility being optional in GICv3, a number
of systems won't be able to run GICv2 guests.

This patch series provides code to emulate a GICv3 distributor and
redistributor for any KVM guest. It requires a GICv3 in the host to
work. With those patches one can run guests efficiently on any GICv3
host. It has the following features:
- Affinity routing (support for up to 255 VCPUs, more possible)
- System registers (as opposed to MMIO access)
- No ITS
- No priority support (as the GICv2 emulation)
- No save / restore support so far (will be added soon)

The first 10 patches actually refactor the current VGIC code to make
room for a different VGIC model to be dropped in with Patch 11/14.
The remaining patches connect the new model to the kernel backend and
the userland facing code.

The series goes on top of both Marc's GICv3 host support series as
well as his vgic-dyn patches.
The necessary patches for kvmtool to enable the guest's GICv3 will be
posted here as well.
There was some testing on the fast model with some I/O and interrupt
affinity shuffling in a Linux guest with a varying number of VCPUs.

Please review and test.
I would be grateful for people to test for GICv2 regressions also
(so on a GICv2 host with current kvmtool/qemu), as there is quite
some refactoring on that front.

Much of the code was inspired by Marc, so send all praises to him
(while I take the blame).

Cheers,
Andre.
