Xen provides support for injecting interrupts to the guests via the
HYPERVISOR_dm_op() hypercall. The same is used by the Virtio based
device backend implementations, in an inefficient manner currently.
Generally, the Virtio backends are implemented to work with the Eventfd
based mechanism. In order to make such backends work with Xen, another
software layer needs to poll the Eventfds and raise an interrupt to the
guest using the Xen based mechanism. This results in an extra context
switch.
This is not a new problem in Linux though. It is present with other
hypervisors like KVM, etc. as well. The generic solution implemented in
the kernel for them is to provide an IOCTL call to pass the interrupt
details and eventfd, which lets the kernel take care of polling the
eventfd and raising of the interrupt, instead of handling this in user
space (which involves an extra context switch).
This patch adds support to inject a specific interrupt to guest using
the eventfd mechanism, by preventing the extra context switch.
Inspired by existing implementations for KVM, etc..

V4->V5
- Drop "default m" and update description in Kconfig.
- Drop INIT_LIST_HEAD() for kirqfd->list.
- Drop local "eventfd" variable.
- Drop unnecessary !! usage.
V3->V4
- Drop the imported definitions to hvm/dm_op.h.
- Make the caller pass a pointer to pre-filled "struct xen_dm_op" instance and
get rid of irq and level fields.
- Enable the irqfd feature under a new Kconfig entry.
V2->V3
- Select EVENTFD from Kconfig
V1->V2:
- Improve error handling.
- Remove the unnecessary usage of list_for_each_entry_safe().
- Restrict the use of XEN_DMOP_set_irq_level to only ARM64.
- Import definitions from Xen to hvm/dm_op.h.
