[PATCH v7 0/8] Handle forwarded level-triggered interrupts

This series is an alternative approach to Eric Auger's direct EOI setup
patches [1] in terms of the KVM VGIC support.
The idea is to maintain existing semantics for the VGIC for mapped
level-triggered IRQs and also support the timer using mapped IRQs with
the same VGIC support as VFIO interrupts.
Based on v4.15-rc1.

Changes since v6:
- Removed double semi-colon
- Changed another confusing conditional in patch 6
- Fixed typos in commit message and comments
Changes since v5:
- Rebased on v4.15-rc1
- Changed comment on preemption code as suggested by Andre
- Fixed white space and confusing conditionals as suggested by Drew
Changes since v4:
- Rebased on the timer optimization series merged in the v4.15 merge
window, which caused a fair amount of modifications to patch 3.
- Added a static key to disable the sync operations when no VMs are
using userspace irqchips to further optimize the performance
- Fixed extra semicolon in vgic-mmio.c
- Added commentary as requested during review
- Dropped what was patch 4, because it was merged as part of GICv4
support.
- Factored out the VGIC input level function change as separate patch
(helps bisect and debugging), before providing a function for the
timer.
Changes since v3:
- Added a number of patches and moved patches around a bit.
- Check for uaccesses in the mmio handler functions
- Fixed bugs in the mmio handler functions
Changes since v2:
- Removed patch 5 from v2 and integrating the changes in what's now
patch 5 to make it easier to reuse code when adding VFIO integration.
- Changed the virtual distributor MMIO handling to use the
pending_latch and more closely match the semantics of SPENDR and
CPENDR for both level and edge mapped interrupts.
Changes since v1:
- Added necessary changes to the timer (Patch 1)
- Added handling of guest MMIO accesses to the virtual distributor
(Patch 4)
- Addressed Marc's comments from the initial RFC (mostly renames)
Thanks,
-Christoffer
