KVM: Allow host IRQ sharing for assigned PCI 2.3 devices

PCI 2.3 allows to generically disable IRQ sources at device level. This
enables us to share legacy IRQs of such devices with other host devices
when passing them to a guest.

The new IRQ sharing feature introduced here is optional, user space has
to request it explicitly. Moreover, user space can inform us about its
view of PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE so that we can avoid unmasking the
interrupt and signaling it if the guest masked it via the virtualized
PCI config space.

+Capability: KVM_CAP_PCI_2_3
+Architectures: x86
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Allows userspace to mask PCI INTx interrupts from the assigned device.  The
+kernel will not deliver INTx interrupts to the guest between setting and
+clearing of KVM_ASSIGN_SET_INTX_MASK via this interface.  This enables use of
+and emulation of PCI 2.3 INTx disable command register behavior.
+
+This may be used for both PCI 2.3 devices supporting INTx disable natively and
+older devices lacking this support. Userspace is responsible for emulating the
+read value of the INTx disable bit in the guest visible PCI command register.
+When modifying the INTx disable state, userspace should precede updating the
+physical device command register by calling this ioctl to inform the kernel of
+the new intended INTx mask state.
+
+Note that the kernel uses the device INTx disable bit to internally manage the
+device interrupt state for PCI 2.3 devices.  Reads of this register may
+therefore not match the expected value.  Writes should always use the guest
+intended INTx disable value rather than attempting to read-copy-update the
+current physical device state.  Races between user and kernel updates to the
+INTx disable bit are handled lazily in the kernel.  It's possible the device
+may generate unintended interrupts, but they will not be injected into the
+guest.
+
+See KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ for the data structure.  The target device is specified
+by assigned_dev_id.  In the flags field, only KVM_DEV_ASSIGN_MASK_INTX is
+evaluated.
