Currently, devices that are emulated inside KVM are configured in a
hardcoded manner based on an assumption that any given architecture
only has one way to do it. If there's any need to access device state,
it is done through inflexible one-purpose-only IOCTLs (e.g.
KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC). Defining new IOCTLs for every little thing is
cumbersome and depletes a limited numberspace.
This API provides a mechanism to instantiate a device of a certain
type, returning an ID that can be used to set/get attributes of the
device. Attributes may include configuration parameters (e.g.
register base address), device state, operational commands, etc. It
is similar to the ONE_REG API, except that it acts on devices rather
than vcpus.
Both device types and individual attributes can be tested without having
to create the device or get/set the attribute, without the need for
separately managing enumerated capabilities.

v4:
- Move some boilerplate back into generic code, as requested by Gleb.
File descriptor management and reference counting is no longer the
concern of the device implementation.
- Don't hold kvm->lock during create. The original reasons
for doing so have vanished as for as MPIC is concerned, and
this avoids needing to answer the question of whether to
hold the lock during destroy as well.
Paul, you may need to acquire the lock yourself in kvm_create_xics()
to protect the -EEXIST check.
v3: remove some changes that were merged into this patch by accident,
and fix the error documentation for KVM_CREATE_DEVICE.

+Errors:

+
+Creates an emulated device in the kernel. The file descriptor returned
+in fd can be used with KVM_SET/GET/HAS_DEVICE_ATTR.
+
+If the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE_TEST flag is set, only test whether the
+device type is supported (not necessarily whether it can be created
+in the current vm).
+
+Individual devices should not define flags. Attributes should be used
+for specifying any behavior that is not implied by the device type
+number.

+Gets/sets a specified piece of device configuration and/or state. The
