Currently the handling of events is supported either in the kernel or userspace, but not both.
In order to support fast delivery of interrupts from the guest to the backend, we need to handle the Queue notify part of Virtio protocol in kernel and the rest in userspace. Update the interrupt handler registration flag to IRQF_SHARED for event channels, which would allow multiple entities to bind their interrupt handler for the same event channel port. Also increment the reference count of irq_info when multiple entities try to bind event channel to irqchip, so the unbinding happens only after all the users are gone.
