KVM: Device assignment framework rework
After discussion with Marcelo, we decided to rework device assignment framework together. The old problems are kernel logic is unnecessary complex. So Marcelo suggest to split it into a more elegant way: 1. Split host IRQ assign and guest IRQ assign. And userspace determine the combination. Also discard msi2intx parameter, userspace can specific KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSI | KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_INTX in assigned_irq->flags to enable MSI to INTx convertion. 2. Split assign IRQ and deassign IRQ. Import two new ioctls: KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ and KVM_DEASSIGN_DEV_IRQ. This patch also fixed the reversed _IOR vs _IOW in definition(by deprecated the old interface).
