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.

Current vfio-pci implementation disallows to mmap
sub-page(size < PAGE_SIZE) MMIO BARs because these BARs' mmio
page may be shared with other BARs. This will cause some
performance issues when we passthrough a PCI device with
this kind of BARs. Guest will be not able to handle the mmio
accesses to the BARs which leads to mmio emulations in host.
However, not all sub-page BARs will share page with other BARs.
We should allow to mmap the sub-page MMIO BARs which we can
make sure will not share page with other BARs.
This patch adds support for this case. And we try to add a
dummy resource to reserve the remainder of the page which
hot-add device's BAR might be assigned into. But it's not
necessary to handle the case when the BAR is not page aligned.
Because we can't expect the BAR will be assigned into the same
location in a page in guest when we passthrough the BAR. And
it's hard to access this BAR in userspace because we have
no way to get the BAR's location in a page.

INTx masking has two components, the first is that we need the ability
to prevent the device from continuing to assert INTx. This is
provided via the DisINTx bit in the command register and is the only
thing we can really probe for when testing if INTx masking is
supported. The second component is that the device needs to indicate
if INTx is asserted via the interrupt status bit in the device status
register. With these two features we can generically determine if one
of the devices we own is asserting INTx, signal the user, and mask the
interrupt while the user services the device.
Generally if one or both of these components is broken we resort to
APIC level interrupt masking, which requires an exclusive interrupt
since we have no way to determine the source of the interrupt in a
shared configuration. This often makes it difficult or impossible to
configure the system for userspace use of the device, for an interrupt
mode that the user may not need.
One possible configuration of broken INTx masking is that the DisINTx
support is fully functional, but the interrupt status bit never
signals interrupt assertion. In this case we do have the ability to
prevent the device from asserting INTx, but lack the ability to
identify the interrupt source. For this case we can simply pretend
that the device lacks INTx support entirely, keeping DisINTx set on
the physical device, virtualizing this bit for the user, and
virtualizing the interrupt pin register to indicate no INTx support.
We already support virtualization of the DisINTx bit and already
virtualize the interrupt pin for platforms without INTx support. By
tying these components together, setting DisINTx on open and reset,
and identifying devices broken in this particular way, we can provide
support for them w/o the handicap of APIC level INTx masking.
Intel i40e (XL710/X710) 10/20/40GbE NICs have been identified as being
broken in this specific way. We leave the vfio-pci.nointxmask option
as a mechanism to bypass this support, enabling INTx on the device
with all the requirements of APIC level masking.

Provide read-only access to PCI config space of the PCI host bridge
and LPC bridge through device specific regions. This may be used to
configure a VM with matching register contents to satisfy driver
requirements. Providing this through the vfio file descriptor removes
an additional userspace requirement for access through pci-sysfs and
removes the CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement that doesn't appear to apply to
the specific devices we're accessing.

Typically config space for a device is mapped out into capability
specific handlers and unassigned space. The latter allows direct
read/write access to config space. Sometimes we know about registers
living in this void space and would like an easy way to virtualize
them, similar to how BAR registers are managed. To do this, create
one more pseudo (fake) PCI capability to be handled as purely virtual
space. Reads and writes are serviced entirely from virtual config
space.

Add support for additional regions with indexes started after the
already defined fixed regions. Device specific code can register
these regions with the new vfio_pci_register_dev_region() function.
The ops structure per region currently only includes read/write
access and a release function, allowing automatic cleanup when the
device is closed. mmap support is only missing here because it's
not needed by the first user queued for this support.

Each time a device is released, mark whether a local reset was
successful or whether a bus/slot reset is needed. If a reset is
needed and all of the affected devices are bound to vfio-pci and
unused, allow the reset. This is most useful when the userspace
driver is killed and releases all the devices in an unclean state,
such as when a QEMU VM quits.

Serializing open/release allows us to fix a refcnt error if we fail

- New VFIO_SET_IRQ ioctl option to pass the eventfd that is signaled when
an error occurs in the vfio_pci_device
- Register pci_error_handler for the vfio_pci driver
- When the device encounters an error, the error handler registered by
the vfio_pci driver gets invoked by the AER infrastructure
- In the error handler, signal the eventfd registered for the device.
- This results in the qemu eventfd handler getting invoked and
appropriate action taken for the guest.

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

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.
