Currently the vfio msi interrupt is kept as IRQ thread, this is not good
for NFV scenerio because in NFV scenerio, we want to inject the interrupt
to the guest asap. A threaded IRQ introduces schedule latency.
However, this change is like a quick and dirty and may bring
potential deadlock, because the spinlock_irqsave() from eventfd_signal()
is preemptible in RT kernel, which should not be held on IRQ context. But
changing it to be raw_spinlock is bad because it will increase the latency
a lot if the eventfd is accessed by user space.
The deadlock should be ok since for vfio MSI handler is purely kernel story
and the lock is a per-eventfd lock and seems no one else is using it for the
vfio msi scenario.

We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.
