Paulo Bonzini changed the original spapr code, which manually assigned irq
numbers for each virtual device, to allocate them automatically from the
device initialization. That allowed spapr virtual devices to be constructed
with -device, which is a good start. However, the way that patch worked
doesn't extend nicely for the future when we want to support devices other
than sPAPR VIO devices (e.g. virtio and PCI).
This patch rearranges the irq allocation to be global across the sPAPR
environment, so it can be used by other bus types as well.

This also lets the user see the irq in "info qtree".

Right now the spapr devices cannot be instantiated with -device,
because the IRQs need to be passed to the spapr_*_create functions.
Do this instead in the bus's init wrapper.
This is particularly important with the conversion from scsi-disk
to scsi-{cd,hd} that Markus made. After his patches, if you
specify a scsi-cd device attached to an if=none drive, the default
VSCSI controller will not be created and, without qdevification,
you will not be able to add yours.
NOTE from agraf: added small compile fix

Usually, PAPR virtual IO devices use a virtual IOMMU mechanism, TCEs,
to mediate all DMA transfers. While this is necessary for some sorts of
operation, it can be complex to program and slow for others.
This patch implements a mechanism for bypassing TCE translation, treating
"IO" addresses as plain (guest) physical memory addresses. This has two
main uses:
* Simple, but 64-bit aware programs like firmwares can use the VIO devices
without the complexity of TCE setup.
* The guest OS can optionally use the TCE bypass to improve performance in
suitable situations.
The mechanism used is a per-device flag which disables TCE translation.
The flag is toggled with some (hypervisor-implemented) RTAS methods.

This patch implements the infrastructure and hypercalls necessary for the
PAPR specified CRQ (Command Request Queue) mechanism. This general
request queueing system is used by many of the PAPR virtual IO devices,
including the virtual scsi adapter.

This patch implements the necessary infrastructure and hypercalls for
sPAPR's TCE (Translation Control Entry) IOMMU mechanism. This is necessary
for all virtual IO devices which do DMA (i.e. nearly all of them).

This patch adds infrastructure to support interrupts from PAPR virtual IO
devices. This includes correctly advertising those interrupts in the
device tree, and implementing the H_VIO_SIGNAL hypercall, used to
enable and disable individual device interrupts.

This extends the "pseries" (PAPR) machine to include a virtual IO bus
supporting the PAPR defined hypercall based virtual IO mechanisms.
So far only one VIO device is provided, the vty / vterm, providing
a full console (polled only, for now).
