8ba918d488 KVM: irqchip: Provide and use accessors for irq routing table
This provides accessor functions for the KVM interrupt mappings, in
order to reduce the amount of code that accesses the fields of the
kvm_irq_routing_table struct, and restrict that code to one file,
virt/kvm/irqchip.c.  The new functions are kvm_irq_map_gsi(), which
maps from a global interrupt number to a set of IRQ routing entries,
and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin, which maps from IRQ chip and pin numbers to
a global interrupt number.

This also moves the update of kvm_irq_routing_table::chip[][]
into irqchip.c, out of the various kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations.  That means that none of the kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations need the kvm_irq_routing_table argument anymore,
so this removes it.

This does not change any locking or data lifetime rules.

719d93cd5f kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING
When starting lots of dataplane devices the bootup takes very long on
Christian's s390 with irqfd patches. With larger setups he is even
able to trigger some timeouts in some components.  Turns out that the
KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl takes very long (strace claims up to 0.1 sec)
when having multiple CPUs.  This is caused by the  synchronize_rcu and
the HZ=100 of s390.  By changing the code to use a private srcu we can
speed things up.  This patch reduces the boot time till mounting root
from 8 to 2 seconds on my s390 guest with 100 disks.

Uses of hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_init_rcu
are fine because they do not have lockdep checks (hlist_for_each_entry_rcu
uses rcu_dereference_raw rather than rcu_dereference, and write-sides
do not do rcu lockdep at all).

Note that we're hardly relying on the "sleepable" part of srcu.  We just
want SRCU's faster detection of grace periods.

Testing was done by Andrew Theurer using netperf tests STREAM, MAERTS
and RR.  The difference between results "before" and "after" the patch
has mean -0.2% and standard deviation 0.6%.  Using a paired t-test on the
data points says that there is a 2.5% probability that the patch is the
cause of the performance difference (rather than a random fluctuation).

(Restricting the t-test to RR, which is the most likely to be affected,
changes the numbers to respectively -0.3% mean, 0.7% stdev, and 8%
probability that the numbers actually say something about the patch.
The probability increases mostly because there are fewer data points).

e8cde0939d KVM: Move irq routing setup to irqchip.c
Setting up IRQ routes is nothing IOAPIC specific. Extract everything
that really is generic code into irqchip.c and only leave the ioapic
specific bits to irq_comm.c.

1c9f8520bd KVM: Extract generic irqchip logic into irqchip.c
The current irq_comm.c file contains pieces of code that are generic
across different irqchip implementations, as well as code that is
fully IOAPIC specific.

Split the generic bits out into irqchip.c.
