hvm: introduce HVM_PARAM_BUFIOREQ_EVTCHN
Introduce an event channel for buffered io event notifications, advertise the port number using an hvm param. This way the device model is not forced to check the buffered io page for data several times a second for the entire life of the VM (buffered io is mostly used for stdvga emulation in Xen that is switched off after the guest goes into graphical mode).
