ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an
eventfd signal when written to by a User VM. ACRN userspace can register
any arbitrary I/O address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the
eventfd to a specific end-point of interest for handling.
Vhost is a kernel-level virtio server which uses eventfd for signalling.
To support vhost on ACRN, ioeventfd is introduced in HSM.
A new I/O client dedicated to ioeventfd is associated with a User VM
during VM creation. HSM provides ioctls to associate an I/O region with
a eventfd. The I/O client signals a eventfd once its corresponding I/O
region is matched with an I/O request.

virt: acrn: Introduce ACRN HSM basic driver2021-02-09T09:58:18ZShuo Liushuo.a.liu@intel.com2021-02-07T03:10:27Zurn:sha1:666834c47d3b41da550bbcbc709148e5fc14879c
ACRN Hypervisor Service Module (HSM) is a kernel module in Service VM
which communicates with ACRN userspace through ioctls and talks to ACRN
Hypervisor through hypercalls.
Add a basic HSM driver which allows Service VM userspace to communicate
with ACRN. The following patches will add more ioctls, guest VM memory
mapping caching, I/O request processing, ioeventfd and irqfd into this
module. HSM exports a char device interface (/dev/acrn_hsm) to userspace.
