[RFC 09/17] bypass: IRQ bypass manager proto by Alex

From: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>

There are plenty of details to be filled in, but I think the basics
looks something like the code below. The IRQ bypass manager just
defines a pair of structures, one for interrupt producers and one for
interrupt consumers. I'm certain that we'll need more callbacks than
I've defined below, but figuring out what those should be for the best
abstraction is the hardest part of this idea. The manager provides both
registration and de-registration interfaces for both types of objects
and keeps lists for each, protected by a lock. The manager doesn't even
really need to know what the match token is, but I assume for our
purposes it will be an eventfd_ctx.

On the vfio side, the producer struct would be embedded in the
vfio_pci_irq_ctx struct. KVM would probably embed the consumer struct
in _irqfd. As I've coded below, the IRQ bypass manager calls the
consumer callbacks, so the producer struct would need fields or
callbacks to provide the consumer the info it needs. AIUI the Posted
Interrupt model, VFIO only needs to provide data to the consumer. For
IRQ Forwarding, I think the producer needs to be informed when bypass is
active to model the incoming interrupt as edge vs level.

I've prototyped the base IRQ bypass manager here as static, but I don't
see any reason it couldn't be a module that's loaded by dependency when
either vfio-pci or kvm-intel is loaded (or other producer/consumer
objects).

Is this a reasonable starting point to craft the additional fields and
callbacks and interaction of who calls who that we need to support
Posted Interrupts and IRQ Forwarding? Is the AMD version of this still
alive? Thanks,

Alex
