[PATCH v2 1/7] KVM: api: introduce KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_EXTENDED_MSI

On ARM, the MSI msg (address and data) comes along with
out-of-band device ID information. The device ID encodes the
device that writes the MSI msg. Let's convey the device id in
kvm_irq_routing_msi and use a new routing entry type to
indicate the devid is populated.

v1 -> v2:
- devid id passed in kvm_irq_routing_msi instead of in
  kvm_irq_routing_entry

RFC -> PATCH
- remove kvm_irq_routing_extended_msi and use union instead
