This patch adds shadow doorbell buffer support in NVMe 1.3 to QEMU
NVMe. The Doorbell Buffer Config admin command is implemented for the
guest to enable shadow doobell buffer. When this feature is enabled, each
SQ/CQ is associated with two buffers, i.e., Shadow Doorbell buffer and
EventIdx buffer. According to the Spec, each queue's doorbell register
is only updated when the Shadow Doorbell buffer value changes from being
less than or equal to the value of the corresponding EventIdx buffer
entry to being greater than that value. Therefore, the number of MMIO's
on the doorbell registers is greatly reduced.

This patch is adapted from Huaicheng Li's patch[1] in 2018.

IOPS comparison with FIO:

iodepth    1      2      4      8
  QEMU   25.1k  25.9k  24.5k  24.0k
 +dbbuf  29.1k  60.1k  99.8k  82.5k

MMIO's per IO measured by perf-kvm:

iodepth    1      2      4      8
  QEMU   2.01   1.99   1.99   1.99
 +dbbuf  1.00   0.52   0.27   0.46

The tests are done on Ubuntu 22.04 with 5.15.0-33 kernel with Intel(R) 
Xeon(R) Gold 6248R CPU @ 3.00GHz.

QEMU set up:

bin/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -name "nvme-test" \
    -machine accel=kvm \
    -cpu host \
    -smp 4 \
    -m 8G \
    -daemonize \
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 \
    -device scsi-hd,drive=hd0 \
    -drive file=$OSIMGF,if=none,aio=native,cache=none,format=qcow2,id=hd0,snapshot=on \
    -drive "id=nvm,if=none,file=null-co://,file.read-zeroes=on,format=raw" \
    -device nvme,serial=deadbeef,drive=nvm \
    -net user,hostfwd=tcp::8080-:22 \
    -net nic,model=virtio

FIO configuration:

[global]
ioengine=libaio
filename=/dev/nvme0n1
thread=1
group_reporting=1
direct=1
verify=0
time_based=1
ramp_time=0
runtime=30
;size=1G
;iodepth=1
rw=randread
bs=4k

[test]
numjobs=1

Changes since v2:
  - Do not ignore admin queue updates in nvme_process_db and nvme_post_cqes
  - Calculate db_addr and ei_addr in hard-coded way

Changes since v1:
  - Add compatibility with hosts that do not use admin queue shadow doorbell
