Hi,

In GICv4.1, migration has been supported except for (directly-injected)
VLPI. And GICv4.1 Spec explicitly gives a way to get the VLPI's pending
state (which was crucially missing in GICv4.0). So we make VLPI migration
capable on GICv4.1 in this series.

In order to support VLPI migration, we need to save and restore all
required configuration information and pending states of VLPIs. But
in fact, the configuration information of VLPIs has already been saved
(or will be reallocated on the dst host...) in vgic(kvm) migration.
So we only have to migrate the pending states of VLPIs specially.

Below is the related workflow in migration.

On the save path:
	In migration completion:
		pause all vCPUs
				|
		call each VM state change handler:
			pause other devices (just keep from sending interrupts, and
			such as VFIO migration protocol has already realized it [1])
					|
			flush ITS tables into guest RAM
					|
			flush RDIST pending tables (also flush VLPI pending states here)
				|
		...
On the resume path:
	load each device's state:
		restore ITS tables (include pending tables) from guest RAM
				|
		for other (PCI) devices (paused), if configured to have VLPIs,
		establish the forwarding paths of their VLPIs (and transfer
		the pending states from kvm's vgic to VPT here)

We have tested this series in VFIO migration, and found some related
issues in QEMU [2].

History:

v3 -> v4
 - Nit fixes.
 - Add a CPU cache invalidation right after unmapping the vPE. (Patch 1)
 - Drop the setting of PTZ altogether. (Patch 2)
 - Bail out if spot !vgic_initialized(). (in Patch 4)
 - Communicate the state change (clear pending_latch) via
   vgic_queue_irq_unlock. (in Patch 5)

Thanks a lot for the suggestions from Marc!

v2 -> v3
 - Add the vgic initialized check to ensure that the allocation and enabling
   of the doorbells have already been done before unmapping the vPEs.
 - Check all get_vlpi_state related conditions in save_pending_tables in one place.
 - Nit fixes.

v1 -> v2:
 - Get the VLPI state from the KVM side.
 - Nit fixes.

Thanks,
Shenming
