Rob Bradford 0faa7afac2 vmm: Add fast path for PCI config IO port
Looking up devices on the port I/O bus is time consuming during the
boot at there is an O(lg n) tree lookup and the overhead from taking a
lock on the bus contents.

Avoid this by adding a fast path uses the hardcoded port address and
size and directs PCI config requests directly to the device.

Command line:
target/release/cloud-hypervisor --kernel ~/src/linux/vmlinux --cmdline "root=/dev/vda1 console=ttyS0" --serial tty --console off --disk path=~/workloads/focal-server-cloudimg-amd64-custom-20210609-0.raw --api-socket /tmp/api

PIO exit: 17913
PCI fast path: 17871
Percentage on fast path: 99.8%

perf before:

marvin:~/src/cloud-hypervisor (main *)$ perf report -g | grep resolve
     6.20%     6.20%  vcpu0            cloud-hypervisor    [.] vm_device:🚌:Bus::resolve

perf after:

marvin:~/src/cloud-hypervisor (2021-09-17-ioapic-fast-path *)$ perf report -g | grep resolve
     0.08%     0.08%  vcpu0            cloud-hypervisor    [.] vm_device:🚌:Bus::resolve

The compromise required to implement this fast path is bringing the
creation of the PciConfigIo device into the DeviceManager::new() so that
it can be used in the VmmOps struct which is created before
DeviceManager::create_devices() is called.
