KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Add a mapping for the source ESB pages
Each source is associated with an Event State Buffer (ESB) with a
even/odd pair of pages which provides commands to manage the source:
to trigger, to EOI, to turn off the source for instance.
The custom VM fault handler will deduce the guest IRQ number from the
offset of the fault, and the ESB page of the associated XIVE interrupt
will be inserted into the VMA using the internal structure caching
information on the interrupts.
