[PATCH v3 00/59] irqchip: KVM: Add support for GICv4

This (monster of a) series implements full support for GICv4, bringing
direct injection of MSIs to KVM on arm and arm64, assuming you have
the right hardware (which is quite unlikely).

To get an idea of the design, I'd recommend you start with patches #33
and #57, which try to shed some light on the approach that I've
taken. And before that, please digest some of the GICv3/GICv4
architecture documentation[1] (less than 800 pages!). Once you feel
reasonably insane, you'll be in the right mood to read the code.

The structure of the series is fairly simple. The initial 35 patches
add some generic support for GICv4, while the rest of the code plugs
KVM into it. This series relies on Eric Auger's irq-bypass series[2],
which is a prerequisite for this work, as well as a KVM fix by
Shanker. The last two patches add a quirk for the Huawei D05 box on
which I tested this code, and which is added here for completeness and
for people to test.

The stack has been *very lightly* tested on an arm64 model, with a PCI
virtio block device passed from the host to a guest (using kvmtool and
Jean-Philippe Brucker's excellent VFIO support patches[3]), as well as
the Huawei D05 box I mentionend above using an Intel I350 Ethernet
card and passing a VF into the guest. I expect things to be (not so)
subtly broken, so go forward and test if you can, though I'm mostly
interested in people reviewing the code at the moment.

I've pushed out a branch based on 4.13-rc3 containing the dependencies:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git kvm-arm64/gicv4-kvm

* From v2:

  - Lots of fixes all over the map (the doorbell code was amazingly
    wrong, both at the GICv4 level and in KVM)
  - KVM GICv4 enablement is now gated by a command-line option and
    defaults to off
  - Now properly deals with ordering of vITS creation
  - Some debugging features
  - More documentation so that I can forget what this is all about
  - Huawei D05 quirks

* From v1:
  - The bulk of the 30-something initial patches have seen countless
    bugs being fixed, and some key data structures have been subtly
    tweaked (or killed altogether). They are still quite similar to
    what I had in v1 though.
  - The whole KVM code is brand new and as I said above, only lightly
    tested.
  - Collected a bunch a R-bs from Thomas and Eric (many thanks, guys).
