KVM: selftests: Verify non-postable IRQ remapping in IRQ test

Browse source

Extend the eventfd IRQ test with an '-n' flag to route a subset of device
interrupts as NMIs (Non-Maskable Interrupts) into the guest using an
alternating pattern of 4 NMIs followed by 4 regular interrupts.

While this adds coverage for NMI injection, the primary goal is to
validate KVM's handling of non-postable interrupt delivery (AMD and Intel
IOMMUs only support posting fixed IRQs targeting a single vCPU).  KVM
has historically bungled handling transitions between posted and remapped
modes.  Use NMIs to stress the transitions, because they are a reliable,
architectural way to force these code paths.
