xics-kvm: Support for in-kernel XICS interrupt controller
Recent (host) kernels support emulating the PAPR defined "XICS" interrupt
controller system within KVM. This patch allows qemu to initialize and
configure the in-kernel XICS, and keep its state in sync with qemu's XICS
state as necessary.
This should give considerable performance improvements. e.g. on a simple
IPI ping-pong test between hardware threads, using qemu XICS gives us
around 5,000 irqs/second, whereas the in-kernel XICS gives us around
70,000 irqs/s on the same hardware configuration.
