virtio-pci: use zero length mmio eventfd for 1.0 notification cap when possible
We use data match eventfd for 1.0 notification currently. This could be slow since software decoding is needed for mmio exit. To speed this up, we can switch to use zero length mmio eventfd for 1.0 notification since we can examine the queue index directly from the writing address. KVM kernel module can utilize this by registering it to fast mmio bus which could be as fast as pio on ept capable machine when fast mmio is supported by host kernel. Lots of improvements were seen on a ept capable machine: Guest RX:(TCP) size/session/+throughput%/+cpu%/-+per cpu%/ 64/1/+1.6807%/[-16.2421%]/[+21.3984%]/ 64/2/+0.6091%/[-11.0187%]/[+13.0678%]/ 64/4/+0.0553%/[-5.9768%]/[+6.4155%]/ 64/8/+0.1206%/[-4.0057%]/[+4.2984%]/ 256/1/-0.0031%/[-10.1166%]/[+11.2517%]/ 256/2/-0.5058%/[-6.1656%]/+6.0317%]/ ...
