When we don't have the DirectLPI feature, we must work around the
architecture shortcomings to be able to perform the required
maintenance (interrupt masking, clearing and injection).
For this, we create a fake device whose sole purpose is to
provide a way to issue commands as if we were dealing with LPIs
coming from that device (while they actually originate from
the ITS). This fake device doesn't have LPIs allocated to it,
but instead uses the VPE LPIs.
Of course, this could be a real bottleneck, and a naive
implementation would require 6 commands to issue an invalidation.
Instead, let's allocate at least one event per physical CPU
(rounded up to the next power of 2), and opportunistically
map the VPE doorbell to an event. This doorbell will be mapped
until we roll over and need to reallocate this slot.
This ensures that most of the time, we only need 2 commands
to issue an INV, INT or CLEAR, making the performance a lot
better, given that we always issue a CLEAR on entry, and
an INV on each side of a trapped WFI.
