So far, the VGIC data structures have been statically sized, meaning
that we always have to support more interrupts than we actually want,
and more CPU interfaces than we should. This is a waste of resource,
and is the kind of things that should be tuneable.

This series addresses that issue by changing the data structures to be
dynamically allocated, and adds a new configuration attribute to
allocate the number of interrupts. When the attribute is not used, we
fallback to the old behaviour of allocating a fixed number of
interrupts.

This series is also the base for Andre Przywara's GICv3 distributor
emulation code (which can support far more than 8 vcpus and 1020
interrupts).

This has been tested on both ARM (TC2, A20) and arm64 (model and Juno).

The code is available from my kvm-arm64/kvmtool-vgic-dyn branch,
together with the corresponding kvmtool code.

* From v3 [3]
  - Number of comments added to the data structures, making slightly more
    obvious the various mappings
  - Dropped the nr_irqs field from bitmap and bytemap structures, as
    it was a leftover from the initial revision that only had a single
    pointer
  - Small cleanups all over the place
  - Dropped the "sub-page offset" patch for now, as this need some
    serious reworking
  - Rebased on top of Christoffer "vgic cleanup" series, with 3.17-rc4
    thrown in for a good measure

* From v2 [2]
  - Fixed bug that broke QEMU (register access can trigger allocation)
  - irq_pending_on_cpu is now dynamic (needed for more than 32 or 64 vcpus)
  - Rebased on top of Victor's BE patches

* From v1 [1]
  - Rebased on top of 3.16-rc1
  - Lots of cleanup
