kvm: x86: hyperv: guest->host event signaling via eventfd
In Hyper-V, the fast guest->host notification mechanism is the SIGNAL_EVENT hypercall, with a single parameter of the connection ID to signal. Currently this hypercall incurs a user exit and requires the userspace to decode the parameters and trigger the notification of the potentially different I/O context. To avoid the costly user exit, process this hypercall and signal the corresponding eventfd in KVM, similar to ioeventfd. The association between the connection id and the eventfd is established via the newly introduced KVM_HYPERV_EVENTFD ioctl, and maintained in an (srcu-protected) IDR.
