This series intends to implement IRQ offloading for
vhost_vdpa.

By the feat of irq forwarding facilities like posted
interrupt on X86, irq bypass can  help deliver
interrupts to vCPU directly.

vDPA devices have dedicated hardware backends like VFIO
pass-throughed devices. So it would be possible to setup
irq offloading(irq bypass) for vDPA devices and gain
performance improvements.

In my testing, with this feature, we can save 0.1ms
in a ping between two VFs on average.

changes from V1:
(1)dropped vfio changes.
(3)removed KVM_HVAE_IRQ_BYPASS checks
(4)locking fixes
(5)simplified vhost_vdpa_update_vq_irq()
(6)minor improvements

Zhu Lingshan (6):
  vhost: introduce vhost_call_ctx
  kvm: detect assigned device via irqbypass manager
  vDPA: implement IRQ offloading helpers in vDPA core
  vhost_vdpa: implement IRQ offloading in vhost_vdpa
  ifcvf: replace irq_request/free with vDPA helpers
  irqbypass: do not start cons/prod when failed connect
