support for shadow ioeventfd (#698)
When an ioeventfd is written to, KVM discards the value since it has no
memory to write it to, and simply kicks the eventfd. This a problem for
devices such a NVMe controllers that need the value (e.g. doorbells on
BAR0). This patch allows the vfio-user server to pass a file descriptor
that can be mmap'ed and KVM can write the ioeventfd value to this
_shadow_ memory instead of discarding it. This shadow memory is not
exposed to the guest.
