The XiveNotifier offers a simple interface, between the XiveSource
object and the main interrupt controller of the machine. It will
forward event notifications to the XIVE Interrupt Virtualization
Routing Engine (IVRE).

The 'sent' status of the LSI interrupt source is modeled with the 'P'
bit of the ESB and the assertion status of the source is maintained
with an extra bit under the main XiveSource object. The type of the
source is stored in the same array for practical reasons.

The first sub-engine of the overall XIVE architecture is the Interrupt
Virtualization Source Engine (IVSE). An IVSE can be integrated into
another logic, like in a PCI PHB or in the main interrupt controller
to manage IPIs.
Each IVSE instance is associated with an Event State Buffer (ESB) that
contains a two bit state entry for each possible event source. When an
event is signaled to the IVSE, by MMIO or some other means, the
associated interrupt state bits are fetched from the ESB and
modified. Depending on the resulting ESB state, the event is forwarded
to the IVRE sub-engine of the controller doing the routing.
Each supported ESB entry is associated with either a single or a
even/odd pair of pages which provides commands to manage the source:
to EOI, to turn off the source for instance.
On a sPAPR machine, the O/S will obtain the page address of the ESB
entry associated with a source and its characteristic using the
H_INT_GET_SOURCE_INFO hcall. On PowerNV, a similar OPAL call is used.
The xive_source_notify() routine is in charge forwarding the source
event notification to the routing engine. It will be filled later on.
