xen/pt: allow QEMU to request MSI unmasking at bind time
When a MSI interrupt is bound to a guest using
xc_domain_update_msi_irq (XEN_DOMCTL_bind_pt_irq) the interrupt is
left masked by default.
This causes problems with guests that first configure interrupts and
clean the per-entry MSIX table mask bit and afterwards enable MSIX
globally. In such scenario the Xen internal msixtbl handlers would not
detect the unmasking of MSIX entries because vectors are not yet
registered since MSIX is not enabled, and vectors would be left
masked.
Introduce a new flag in the gflags field to signal Xen whether a MSI
interrupt should be unmasked after being bound.
This also requires to track the mask register for MSI interrupts, so
QEMU can also notify to Xen whether the MSI interrupt should be bound
masked or unmasked
