Wu Zhou bbe8e254cf hv: support multi function ivshmem device
Currently ivshmem device can only be configurated as single function
device(bdf.f = 0) on bus 0. This greatly limits the number of ivshmem
devices we can create. This patch is to enable multiple function bit in
HEADER_TYPE config register, so that we can create many more ivshmem
devices by using different function numbers on one bus:dev.

The multi function device bit is to be set on ivshmem devices whose function
number equls 0. PCI spec describe it as: ‘When Set, indicates that the
Device may contain multiple Functions, but not necessarily.’, So if this
dev is the only one on the bus:dev, it is still OK.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
