KVM: s390: add floating irq controller

Browse Source 
This patch adds a floating irq controller as a kvm_device.
It will be necessary for migration of floating interrupts as well
as for hardening the reset code by allowing user space to explicitly
remove all pending floating interrupts.

FLIC (floating interrupt controller)
====================================
FLIC handles floating (non per-cpu) interrupts, i.e. I/O, service and some
machine check interruptions. All interrupts are stored in a per-vm list of
pending interrupts. FLIC performs operations on this list.
Only one FLIC instance may be instantiated.
FLIC provides support to
- add interrupts (KVM_DEV_FLIC_ENQUEUE)
- inspect currently pending interrupts (KVM_FLIC_GET_ALL_IRQS)
- purge all pending floating interrupts (KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IRQS)
Groups:
KVM_DEV_FLIC_ENQUEUE
Passes a buffer and length into the kernel which are then injected into
the list of pending interrupts.
attr->addr contains the pointer to the buffer and attr->attr contains
the length of the buffer.
The format of the data structure kvm_s390_irq as it is copied from userspace
is defined in usr/include/linux/kvm.h.
KVM_DEV_FLIC_GET_ALL_IRQS
Copies all floating interrupts into a buffer provided by userspace.
When the buffer is too small it returns -ENOMEM, which is the indication
for userspace to try again with a bigger buffer.
All interrupts remain pending, i.e. are not deleted from the list of
currently pending interrupts.
attr->addr contains the userspace address of the buffer into which all
interrupt data will be copied.
attr->attr contains the size of the buffer in bytes.
KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IRQS
Simply deletes all elements from the list of currently pending floating
interrupts. No interrupts are injected into the guest.
