This patch adds support for split IRQ chip mode. When
KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP is enabled:
1.) The PIC, PIT, and IOAPIC are implemented in userspace while
the LAPIC is implemented by KVM.
2.) The software IOAPIC delivers interrupts to the KVM LAPIC via
kvm_set_irq. Interrupt delivery is configured via the MSI routing
table, for which routes are reserved in target-i386/kvm.c then
configured in hw/intc/ioapic.c
3.) KVM delivers IOAPIC EOIs via a new exit KVM_EXIT_IOAPIC_EOI,
which is handled in target-i386/kvm.c and relayed to the software
IOAPIC via ioapic_eoi_broadcast.

Introduce kvm_arch_irqchip_create an arch-specific hook in preparation
for architecture-specific use of the device control API to create IRQ
chips.
Following patches will implement the ARM irqchip create method to prefer
the device control API over the older KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP API.
