Subject: [PATCH 5/7] vfio-pci: Fix MSI-X masking performance

O-Subject: [RHEL7.0/z qemu-kvm PATCH v2 4/6] vfio-pci: Fix MSI-X masking performance
Bugzilla: 1098976
RH-Acked-by: Bandan Das <bsd@redhat.com>

There are still old guests out there that over-exercise MSI-X masking.
The current code completely sets-up and tears-down an MSI-X vector on
the "use" and "release" callbacks.  While this is functional, it can
slow an old guest to a crawl.  We can easily skip the KVM parts of
this so that we keep the MSI route and irqfd setup.  We do however
need to switch VFIO to trigger a different eventfd while masked.
Actually, we have the option of continuing to use -1 to disable the
trigger, but by using another EventNotifier we can allow the MSI-X
core to emulate pending bits and re-fire the vector once unmasked.
MSI code gets updated as well to use the same setup and teardown
structures and functions.

Prior to this change, an igbvf assigned to a RHEL5 guest gets about
20Mbps and 50 transactions/s with netperf (remote or VF->PF).  With
this change, we get line rate and 3k transactions/s remote or 2Gbps
and 6k+ transactions/s to the PF.  No significant change is expected
for newer guests with more well behaved MSI-X support.
