I don't think any single piece of the KVM/ARM code ever generated
as much hatred as the GIC emulation.
It was written by someone who had zero experience in modeling
hardware (me), was riddled with design flaws, should have been
scrapped and rewritten from scratch long before having a remote
chance of reaching mainline, and yet we supported it for a good
three years. No need to mention the names of those who suffered,
the git log is singing their praises.
Thankfully, we now have a much more maintainable implementation,
and we can safely put the grumpy old GIC to rest.
Fellow hackers, please raise your glass in memory of the GIC:
The GIC is dead, long live the GIC!

When saving the state of the list registers, it is critical to
reset them zero, as we could otherwise leave unexpected EOI
interrupts pending for virtual level interrupts.

Now that the new VGIC implementation has reached feature parity with
the old one, add the new files to the build system and add a Kconfig
option to switch between the two versions.
We set the default to the new version to get maximum test coverage,
in case people experience problems they can switch back to the old
behaviour if needed.

The number of list registers is a property of the underlying system, not
of emulated VGIC CPU interface.
As we are about to move this variable to global state in the new vgic
for clarity, move it from the legacy implementation as well to make the
merge of the new code easier.

We are about to modify the VGIC to allocate all data structures
dynamically and store mapped IRQ information on a per-IRQ struct, which
is indeed allocated dynamically at init time.
Therefore, we cannot record the mapped IRQ info from the timer at timer
reset time like it's done now, because VCPU reset happens before timer
init.
A possible later time to do this is on the first run of a per VCPU, it
just requires us to move the enable state to be a per-VCPU state and do
the lookup of the physical IRQ number when we are about to run the VCPU.

So far, we're always writing all possible LRs, setting the empty
ones with a zero value. This is obvious doing a lot of work for
nothing, and we're better off clearing those we've actually
dirtied on the exit path (it is very rare to inject more than one
interrupt at a time anyway).

On exit, any empty LR will be signaled in GICH_ELRSR*. Which
means that we do not have to save it, and we can just clear
its state in the in-memory copy.
Take this opportunity to move the LR saving code into its
own function.

In order to make the saving path slightly more readable and
prepare for some more optimizations, let's move the GICH_ELRSR
saving to its own function.
No functional change.

Next on our list of useless accesses is the maintenance interrupt
status registers (GICH_MISR, GICH_EISR{0,1}).
It is pointless to save them if we haven't asked for a maintenance
interrupt the first place, which can only happen for two reasons:
- Underflow: GICH_HCR_UIE will be set,
- EOI: GICH_LR_EOI will be set.
These conditions can be checked on the in-memory copies of the regs.
Should any of these two condition be valid, we must read GICH_MISR.
We can then check for GICH_MISR_EOI, and only when set read
GICH_EISR*.
This means that in most case, we don't have to save them at all.

GICv2 registers are *slow*. As in "terrifyingly slow". Which is bad.
But we're equaly bad, as we make a point in accessing them even if
we don't have any interrupt in flight.
A good solution is to first find out if we have anything useful to
write into the GIC, and if we don't, to simply not do it. This
involves tracking which LRs actually have something valid there.

We already have virt/kvm/arm/ containing timer and vgic stuff.
Add yet another subdirectory to contain the hyp-specific files
(timer and vgic again).
