This series was largely built on the assumption that IPI numbers are
numerically equal to vCPU ids. Even if this happens to be the case
in practice with the default machine settings, this ceases to be true
if VSMT is set to a different value than the number of vCPUs per core.
This causes bogus IPI numbers to be created in KVM from a guest stand
point. This leads to unknow results in the guest, including crashes
or missing vCPUs (see BugLink) and even non-fatal oopses in current
KVM that lacks a check before accessing misconfigured HW (see [1]).
A tentative patch was sent (see [2]) but it seems too complex to be
merged in an RC. Since the original changes are essentially an
optimization, it seems safer to revert them for now. The damage is
done by commit acbdb9956f ("spapr/xive: Allocate IPIs independently
from the other sources") but the previous patches in the series are
really preparatory patches. So this reverts the whole series:

When QEMU switches to the XIVE interrupt mode, it creates all the
guest interrupts at the level of the KVM device. These interrupts are
backed by real HW interrupts from the IPI interrupt pool of the XIVE
controller.
Currently, this is done from the QEMU main thread, which results in
allocating all interrupts from the chip on which QEMU is running. IPIs
are not distributed across the system and the load is not well
balanced across the interrupt controllers.
Change the vCPU IPI allocation to run from the vCPU context. The
associated XIVE IPI interrupt will be allocated on the chip on which
the vCPU is running and improve distribution of the IPIs in the system.
When the vCPUs are pinned, this will make the IPI local to the chip of
the vCPU. It will reduce rerouting between interrupt controllers and
gives better performance.
Device interrupts are still treated the same. To improve placement, we
would need some information on the chip owning the virtual source or
the HW source in case of a passthrough device but this reuires
changes in PAPR.

Depending on whether XIVE is emultated or backed with a KVM XIVE device,
the ESB MMIOs of a XIVE source point to an I/O memory region or a mapped
memory region.
This is currently handled by checking kvm_irqchip_in_kernel() returns
false in xive_source_realize(). This is a bit awkward as we usually
need to do extra things when we're using the in-kernel backend, not
less. But most important, we can do better: turn the existing "xive.esb"
memory region into a plain container, introduce an "xive.esb-emulated"
I/O subregion and rename the existing "xive.esb" subregion in the KVM
code to "xive.esb-kvm". Since "xive.esb-kvm" is added with overlap
and a higher priority, it prevails over "xive.esb-emulated" (ie.
a guest using KVM XIVE will interact with "xive.esb-kvm" instead of
the default "xive.esb-emulated" region.
While here, consolidate the computation of the MMIO region size in
a common helper.

Today, the interrupt device is fully initialized at reset when the CAS
negotiation process has completed. Depending on the KVM capabilities,
the SpaprXive memory regions (ESB, TIMA) are initialized with a host
MMIO backend or a QEMU emulated backend. This results in a complex
initialization sequence partially done at realize and later at reset,
and some memory region leaks.
To simplify this sequence and to remove of the late initialization of
the emulated device which is required to be done only once, we
introduce new memory regions specific for KVM. These regions are
mapped as overlaps on top of the emulated device to make use of the
host MMIOs. Also provide proper cleanups of these regions when the
XIVE KVM device is destroyed to fix the leaks.

The interrupt mode is chosen by the CAS negotiation process and
activated after a reset to take into account the required changes in
the machine. This brings new constraints on how the associated KVM IRQ
device is initialized.
Currently, each model takes care of the initialization of the KVM
device in their realize method but this is not possible anymore as the
initialization needs to be done globaly when the interrupt mode is
known, i.e. when machine is reseted. It also means that we need a way
to delete a KVM device when another mode is chosen.
Also, to support migration, the QEMU objects holding the state to
transfer should always be available but not necessarily activated.
The overall approach of this proposal is to initialize both interrupt
mode at the QEMU level to keep the IRQ number space in sync and to
allow switching from one mode to another. For the KVM side of things,
the whole initialization of the KVM device, sources and presenters, is
grouped in a single routine. The XICS and XIVE sPAPR IRQ reset
handlers are modified accordingly to handle the init and the delete
sequences of the KVM device.

At restart, the SpaprXive 'post_load' method restores all the XIVE
states. It is called by the sPAPR machine 'post_load' method, when all
XIVE states have been transferred and loaded.
Finally, the source states are restored in the VM change state handler
when the machine reaches the running state.

This handler is in charge of stabilizing the flow of event notifications
in the XIVE controller before migrating a guest. This is a requirement
before transferring the guest EQ pages to a destination.
When the VM is stopped, the handler sets the source PQs to PENDING to
stop the flow of events and to possibly catch a triggered interrupt
occuring while the VM is stopped. Their previous state is saved. The
XIVE controller is then synced through KVM to flush any in-flight
event notification and to stabilize the EQs. At this stage, the EQ
pages are marked dirty to make sure the EQ pages are transferred if a
migration sequence is in progress.
The previous configuration of the sources is restored when the VM
resumes, after a migration or a stop. If an interrupt was queued while
the VM was stopped, the handler simply generates the missing trigger.

This extends the KVM XIVE device backend with 'synchronize_state'
methods used to retrieve the state from KVM. The HW state of the
sources, the KVM device and the thread interrupt contexts are
collected for the monitor usage and also migration.
These get operations rely on their KVM counterpart in the host kernel
which acts as a proxy for OPAL, the host firmware. The set operations
will be added for migration support later.

XIVE hcalls are all redirected to QEMU as none are on a fast path.
When necessary, QEMU invokes KVM through specific ioctls to perform
host operations. QEMU should have done the necessary checks before
calling KVM and, in case of failure, H_HARDWARE is simply returned.
H_INT_ESB is a special case that could have been handled under KVM
but the impact on performance was low when under QEMU. Here are some
figures :
kernel irqchip OFF ON
H_INT_ESB KVM QEMU
rtl8139 (LSI ) 1.19 1.24 1.23 Gbits/sec
virtio 31.80 42.30 -- Gbits/sec

This introduces a set of helpers when KVM is in use, which create the
KVM XIVE device, initialize the interrupt sources at a KVM level and
connect the interrupt presenters to the vCPU.
They also handle the initialization of the TIMA and the source ESB
memory regions of the controller. These have a different type under
KVM. They are 'ram device' memory mappings, similarly to VFIO, exposed
to the guest and the associated VMAs on the host are populated
dynamically with the appropriate pages using a fault handler.
