[PATCH v2 00/12] KVM: arm/arm64: move VGIC MMIO to kvm_io_bus

This series converts the VGIC MMIO handling routines to the generic
kvm_io_bus framework. The framework is needed for the ioeventfd
functionality, some people on the list wanted to see the VGIC
converted over to use it, too.
Beside from now moving to a generic framework instead of relying on
an ARM specific one we also clean up quite some code and get rid of
some unnecessary copying.
On that way the MMIO abort handling for ARM has changed quite a bit,
so please have a closer look and test it on your setup if possible.

Based on the v1 review I addressed Christoffer's minor comments, but
also heavily changed [11/12]: "KVM: ARM: on IO mem abort - route the
call to KVM MMIO bus" to get rid of the now unnecessary copying and
the usage of kvm_exit_mmio in that early stage. See the respective
commit message for more details.

The series is loosely based on Nikolay's work[1], thanks especially
for the tedious first patch.
I totally reworked Nikolay's 3/5 to avoid adding another MMIO handling
layer on top of the already quite convoluted VGIC MMIO handling.
Also Nikolay's 2/5 get extended and changed significantly, that's why
I dropped his Signed-off-by.

Unfortunately kvm_io_bus lacks an opaque pointer to pass in some data,
so I worked around this by using container_of.
Now for every struct kvm_mmio_range array a KVM I/O device is
registered (one for VGICv2, 2*nr_vcpus + 1 for VGICv3), using the
struct kvm_io_device variable as an anchor into the new
struct vgic_io_device. This one holds the base address, the
vgic_io_range pointer and (in case of the GICv3 redistributor) the
associated vCPU, so that we can access all instance-specific data
easily.

Patch 2 moves the iodev.h header file around, that solves a problem
when embedding a struct in arm_vgic.h later. That looks like a nice
cleanup anyway, so I added two patches to remove the compiler switch
to add virt/kvm as a include directory. This has been tested for
arm/arm64 and x86. As soon as I get around to compile-test the other
architectures, I can send out the respective patches for those, too.

Patches 5-7 tweak the existing code a bit to make it fit for the
conversion.
Patch 8 contains the framework for the new handling, while
patch 9 and 10 enable the GICv2 and GICv3 emulation, respectively.
Patch 11 finally switches over to the new kvm_io_bus handling,
reworking the early ARM KVM MMIO handling quite a bit. Patch 12
removes the now unneeded code. I split this up to ease reviewing, I
could merge patches as well if needed.

The series goes on top of the kvmarm.git/next branch and was briefly
tested on an arm64 model with a GICv2 and a GICv3 guest and on Midway
(GICv2 guest).

Cheers,
Andre.
