Epoll based IRQ controller

1. Removes the need to walk the IRQ/Device list to determine
who triggered the IRQ.
2. Improves scalability (up to several times performance
improvement for cases with 10s of devices).
3. Improves UML baseline IO performance for one disk + one NIC
use case by up to 10%.
4. Introduces write poll triggered IRQs.
5. Prerequisite for introducing high performance mmesg family
of functions in network IO.
6. Fixes RNG shutdown which was leaking a file descriptor
