The virtio vhost-user device backend prefers to use externally-provided
eventfds as irqfds. This allows the frontend VM to notify the backend
VM directly, without the need for a userspace proxy process. Since the
frontend can provide irqfds at any time, the backend needs to register
and unregister irqfds dynamically.
This is tricky because the functions that access the irqfd table all
take `&self`, not `&mut self`. The obvious solution to this problem is
to wrap the table in a mutex. Most of these functions are not called on
hot paths, but `.notifier()` is called whenever Cloud Hypervisor needs
to inject an interrupt into a guest. Most devices don't need to
register irqfds at runtime, and for them, slowing down interrupt
injection would be wasteful.
Instead, require devices to opt-in to irqfd registration. The irqfd
table now comes in two forms: one that contains a mutex and one that
does not. The one containing a mutex can be mutated freely, while
attempting to mutate the one that does not will panic.
Right now, no code registeres irqfds at runtime, but this will change in
subsequent commits.

Historically the Cloud Hypervisor coding style has been to ensure that
all imports are ordered and placed in a single group. Unfortunately
cargo fmt has no support for ensuring that all imports are in a single
group so if whitespace lines were added as part of the import statements
then they would only be odered correctly in the group.
By adopting "group_imports="StdExternalCrate" we can enforce a style
where imports are placed in at most three groups for std, external
crates and the crate itself. Choosing a style enforceable by the tooling
reduces the reviewer burden.

Split interrupt source group restore into two steps, first restore
the irqfd for each interrupt source entry, and second restore the
GSI routing of the entire interrupt source group.
This patch will reduce restore latency of interrupt source group,
and in a 200-concurrent restore test, the patch reduced the
average IOAPIC restore time from 15ms to 1ms.

And thus only export what is necessary through a `pub use`. This is
consistent with some of the other modules and makes it easier to
understand what the external interface of the hypervisor crate is.

Move this enum from vm-device to hypervisor crate so that hypervisor

The calls to these functions are always preceded by a call to
InterruptSourceGroup::update(). By adding a masked boolean to that
function call it possible to remove 50% of the calls to the
KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl as the the update will correctly handle the
masked or unmasked case.
This causes the ioctl to disappear from the perf report for a boot of
the VM.

On AArch64, interrupt controller (GIC) is emulated by KVM. VMM need to
set IRQ routing for devices, including legacy ones.
Before this commit, IRQ routing was only set for MSI. Legacy routing
entries of type KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_IRQCHIP were missing. That is way legacy
devices (like serial device ttyS0) does not work.
The setting of X86 IRQ routing entries are not impacted.

Both GIC and IOAPIC must implement a new method notifier() in order to
provide the caller with an EventFd corresponding to the IRQ it refers
to.
This is needed in anticipation for supporting INTx with VFIO PCI
devices.

In anticipation for supporting the notifier function for the legacy
interrupt source group, we need this function to return an EventFd
instead of a reference to this same EventFd.
The reason is we can't return a reference when there's an Arc<Mutex<>>
involved in the call chain.

Having the InterruptManager trait depend on an InterruptType forces
implementations into supporting potentially very different kind of
interrupts from the same code base. What we're defining through the
current, interrupt type based create_group() method is a need for having
different interrupt managers for different kind of interrupts.
By associating the InterruptManager trait to an interrupt group
configuration type, we create a cleaner design to support that need as
we're basically saying that one interrupt manager should have the single
responsibility of supporting one kind of interrupt (defined through its
configuration).
