A vfio ioeventfd will perform the pre-specified device write on
triggering of an eventfd.  When coupled with KVM ioeventfds, this
feature allows a VM to trap a device page for virtualization, while
also registering targeted ioeventfds to maintain performance of high
frequency register writes within the trapped range.  Much like the
existing interrupt eventfd/irqfd coupling, such writes can be handled
entirely in the host kernel.

The new VFIO device ioctl may be supported by any vfio bus driver,
including mdev drivers, but the implementation here only enables
vfio-pci.  This is intended as an acceleration path, bus drivers
may choose which regions to support and userspace should always
intend to fall back to non-accelerated handling when unavailable.

v1->v2:
 * Peter & Eric Sign-offs on 1/3
 * mutex_destroy() in 3/3
 * Slight enhancement to uapi description
 * sparse clean - Sparse didn't like that we dropped the __iomem
   address space when calling iowriteXX, re-adding it via the opaque
   and data pointers of the virq was crude, and that was not a 32-bit
   friendly soluion anyway, so add the iomem address to our ioeventfd
   struct, pass that, and use a more simple, common handler.

RFC->v1:
 * An arbitrary limit is added for the number of ioeventfds supported
   per device.  The intention is to set this high enough to allow any
   reasonable use case, but limit malicious user behavior.
 * Split patches, including adding a patch for endian neutral io reads
   and writes.  This should be a nop for little-endian and avoid
   redundant swap on big-endian, and hopefully resolves Alexey's
   comments regarding the endian nature of this interface.
 * Rebase to v4.16-rc3

Thanks,
Alex

This creates a common helper that we'll use for ioeventfd setup.

The iowriteXX/ioreadXX functions assume little endian hardware and
convert to little endian on a write and from little endian on a read.
We currently do our own explicit conversion to negate this.  Instead,
add some endian dependent defines to avoid all byte swaps.  There
should be no functional change other than big endian systems aren't
penalized with wasted swaps.

The ioeventfd here is actually irqfd handling of an ioeventfd such as
supported in KVM.  A user is able to pre-program a device write to
occur when the eventfd triggers.  This is yet another instance of
eventfd-irqfd triggering between KVM and vfio.  The impetus for this
is high frequency writes to pages which are virtualized in QEMU.
Enabling this near-direct write path for selected registers within
the virtualized page can improve performance and reduce overhead.
Specifically this is initially targeted at NVIDIA graphics cards where
the driver issues a write to an MMIO register within a virtualized
region in order to allow the MSI interrupt to re-trigger.

LGTM, I gave it a try to make sure 2/3 does not break and it does not in
all combinations of le/be host <=> le/be guest but I did not try the actual
