ivshmem can be configured with and without interrupt capability
(a.k.a. "doorbell"). The two configurations have largely disjoint
options, which makes for a confusing (and badly checked) user
interface. Moreover, the device can't tell the guest whether its
doorbell is enabled.
Create two new device models ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, and
deprecate the old one.
Changes from ivshmem:
* PCI revision is 1 instead of 0. The new revision is fully backwards
compatible for guests. Guests may elect to require at least
revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny "no shared
memory, yet" state.
* Property "role" replaced by "master". role=master becomes
master=on, role=peer becomes master=off. Default is off instead of
auto.
* Property "use64" is gone. The new devices always have 64 bit BARs.
Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-plain:
* The Interrupt Pin register in PCI config space is zero (does not use
an interrupt pin) instead of one (uses INTA).
* Property "x-memdev" is renamed to "memdev".
* Properties "shm" and "size" are gone. Use property "memdev"
instead.
* Property "msi" is gone. The new device can't have MSI-X capability.
It can't interrupt anyway.
* Properties "ioeventfd" and "vectors" are gone. They're meaningless
without interrupts anyway.
Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell:
* Property "msi" is gone. The new device always has MSI-X capability.
* Property "ioeventfd" defaults to on instead of off.
* Property "size" is gone. The new device can only map all the shared
memory received from the server.
Guests can easily find out whether the device is configured for
interrupts by checking for MSI-X capability.
Note: some code added in sub-optimal places to make the diff easier to
review. The next commit will move it to more sensible places.
