The ioeventfd here is actually irqfd handling of an ioeventfd such as
supported in KVM. A user is able to pre-program a device write to
occur when the eventfd triggers. This is yet another instance of
eventfd-irqfd triggering between KVM and vfio. The impetus for this
is high frequency writes to pages which are virtualized in QEMU.
Enabling this near-direct write path for selected registers within
the virtualized page can improve performance and reduce overhead.
Specifically this is initially targeted at NVIDIA graphics cards where
the driver issues a write to an MMIO register within a virtualized
region in order to allow the MSI interrupt to re-trigger.

The iowriteXX/ioreadXX functions assume little endian hardware and
convert to little endian on a write and from little endian on a read.
We currently do our own explicit conversion to negate this. Instead,
add some endian dependent defines to avoid all byte swaps. There
should be no functional change other than big endian systems aren't
penalized with wasted swaps.

This creates a common helper that we'll use for ioeventfd setup.

Using ancient compilers (gcc-4.5 or older) on ARM, we get a link
failure with the vfio-pci driver:
ERROR: "__aeabi_lcmp" [drivers/vfio/pci/vfio-pci.ko] undefined!
The reason is that the compiler tries to do a comparison of
a 64-bit range. This changes it to convert to a 32-bit number
explicitly first, as newer compilers do for themselves.

Integrated graphics may have their ROM shadowed at 0xc0000 rather than
implement a PCI option ROM. Make this ROM appear to the user using
the ROM BAR.

PCI defines display class VGA regions at I/O port address 0x3b0, 0x3c0
and MMIO address 0xa0000. As these are non-overlapping, we can ignore
the I/O port vs MMIO difference and expose them both in a single
region. We make use of the VGA arbiter around each access to
configure chipset access as necessary.

We can actually handle MMIO and I/O port from the same access function
since PCI already does abstraction of this. The ROM BAR only requires
a minor difference, so it gets included too. vfio_pci_config_readwrite
gets renamed for consistency.

A read from a range hidden from the user (ex. MSI-X vector table)
attempts to fill the user buffer up to the end of the excluded range
instead of up to the requested count. Fix it.

Add PCI device support for VFIO. PCI devices expose regions
for accessing config space, I/O port space, and MMIO areas
of the device. PCI config access is virtualized in the kernel,
allowing us to ensure the integrity of the system, by preventing
various accesses while reducing duplicate support across various
userspace drivers. I/O port supports read/write access while
MMIO also supports mmap of sufficiently sized regions. Support
for INTx, MSI, and MSI-X interrupts are provided using eventfds to
userspace.
