This series intends to implement IRQ offloading for
vhost_vdpa.

By the feat of irq forwarding facilities like posted
interrupt on X86, irq bypass can  help deliver
interrupts to vCPU directly.

vDPA devices have dedicated hardware backends like VFIO
pass-throughed devices. So it would be possible to setup
irq offloading(irq bypass) for vDPA devices and gain
performance improvements.

In my testing, with this feature, we can save 0.1ms
in a ping between two VFs on average.
changes from V3:
(1)removed vDPA irq allocate/free helpers in vDPA core.
(2)add a new function get_vq_irq() in struct vdpa_config_ops,
upper layer driver can use this function to: A. query the
irq numbner of a vq. B. detect whether a vq is enabled.
(3)implement get_vq_irq() in ifcvf driver.
(4)in vhost_vdpa, set_status() will setup irq offloading when
setting DRIVER_OK, and unsetup when receive !DRIVER_OK.
(5)minor improvements.

Ok, I think you can go ahead to post a V5. It's not bad to start with 
get_vq_irq() and we can do any changes afterwards if it can work for 
some cases.

Thanks
