Add the VMBus infrastructure -- bus, devices, root bridge, vmbus state
machine, vmbus channel interactions, etc.
VMBus is a collection of technologies. At its lowest layer, it's a message
passing and signaling mechanism, allowing efficient passing of messages to and
from guest VMs. A layer higher, it's a mechanism for defining channels of
communication, where each channel is tagged with a type (which implies a
protocol) and a instance ID. A layer higher than that, it's a bus driver,
serving as the basis of device enumeration within a VM, where a channel can
optionally be exposed as a paravirtual device. When a server-side (paravirtual
back-end) component wishes to offer a channel to a guest VM, it does so by
specifying a channel type, a mode, and an instance ID. VMBus then exposes this
in the guest.
More information about VMBus can be found in the file
vmbuskernelmodeclientlibapi.h in Microsoft's WDK.
TODO:
- split into smaller palatable pieces
- more comments
- check and handle corner cases

The Kconfig files were generated mostly with this script:
for i in `grep -ho CONFIG_[A-Z0-9_]* default-configs/* | sort -u`; do
set fnord `git grep -lw $i -- 'hw/*/Makefile.objs' `
shift
if test $# = 1; then
cat >> $(dirname $1)/Kconfig << EOF
config ${i#CONFIG_}
bool
EOF
git add $(dirname $1)/Kconfig
else
echo $i $*
fi
done
sed -i '$d' hw/*/Kconfig
for i in hw/*; do
if test -d $i && ! test -f $i/Kconfig; then
touch $i/Kconfig
git add $i/Kconfig
fi
done
Whenever a symbol is referenced from multiple subdirectories, the
script prints the list of directories that reference the symbol.
These symbols have to be added manually to the Kconfig files.
Kconfig.host and hw/Kconfig were created manually.
