ppc/xive: introduce the XIVE Event Notification Descriptors

To complete the event routing, the IVRE sub-engine uses a second table
containing Event Notification Descriptor (END) structures.

An END specifies on which Event Queue (EQ) the event notification
data, defined in the associated EAS, should be posted when an
exception occurs. It also defines which Notification Virtual Target
(NVT) should be notified.

The Event Queue is a memory page provided by the O/S defining a
circular buffer, one per server and priority couple, containing Event
Queue entries. These are 4 bytes long, the first bit being a
'generation' bit and the 31 following bits the END Data field. They
are pulled by the O/S when the exception occurs.

The END Data field is a way to set an invariant logical event source
number for an IRQ. On sPAPR machines, it is set with the
H_INT_SET_SOURCE_CONFIG hcall when the EISN flag is used.
