This file has things like module_param_named() and MODULE_PARM_DESC()
so it needs the full module.h header present.  Without it, you'll get:

  CC      arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/iommu.o
virt/kvm/iommu.c:37: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘bool’
virt/kvm/iommu.c:39: error: expected ‘)’ before string constant

This was coming in via an implicit module.h (and its sub-includes)
before, but we'll be cleaning that up shortly.  Call out the stat.h
include requirement in advance.

<content type='text'>
With per-bus iommu_ops the iommu_found function needs to
work on a bus_type too. This patch adds a bus_type parameter
to that function and converts all call-places.
The function is also renamed to iommu_present because the
function now checks if an iommu is present for a given bus
and does not check for a global iommu anymore.

This is necessary to store a pointer to the bus-specific
iommu_ops in the iommu-domain structure. It will be used
later to call into bus-specific iommu-ops.

We only perform work in kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq if the guest IRQ is of
INTx type. This completely avoids the callback invocation in non-INTx
cases by registering the IRQ ack notifier only for INTx.

<title>KVM: Intelligent device lookup on I/O bus</title>

<id>743eeb0b01d2fbf4154bf87bff1ebb6fb18aeb7a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO)
is to call the read or write callback for each device registered
on the bus until we find a device which handles it.

Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds
and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO
operation.

Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to
a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear
search.

Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with
200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a
different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits).
Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the
patch the guest does 274k exits per second.
