Tracing is more effective when we can completely disable all KVM
bypass paths. Make these runtime rather than build-time configurable.

This patch aims at optimizing IRQ handling using irqfd framework.
Instead of handling the eventfds on user-side they are handled on
kernel side using
- the KVM irqfd framework,
- the VFIO driver virqfd framework.
the virtual IRQ completion is trapped at interrupt controller
This removes the need for fast/slow path swap.
Overall this brings significant performance improvements.

The platform device class has become abstract. This patch introduces
a calxeda xgmac device that derives from it.

This patch adds the code requested to assign interrupts to
a guest. The interrupts are mediated through user handled
eventfds only.

Disabling MMAP support uses the slower read/write accesses but allows to
trace all MMIO accesses, which is not good for performance, but very
useful for reverse engineering PCI drivers. This option allows to
disable MMAP per device without a compile-time change.

They are not used from anywhere but common.c which is where these are
defined so make them static.

Now that vfio_put_base_device is called unconditionally at instance_finalize
time, it can be called twice if vfio_populate_device fails. This works
but it is slightly harder to follow.
Change vfio_get_device to not touch the vbasedev struct until it will
definitely succeed, moving the vfio_populate_device call back to vfio-pci.
This way, vfio_put_base_device will only be called once.

A new common module is created. It implements all functions
that have no device specificity (PCI, Platform).
