This patches based on old https://lore.kernel.org/imx/20221124055036.1630573-1-Frank.Li@xxxxxxx/

Original patch only target to vntb driver. But actually it is common
method.

This patches add new API to pci-epf-core, so any EP driver can use it.

The key point is comments from Thomas Gleixner, who suggest use new
PCI/IMS. But arm platform change still not be merged yet.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git devmsi-v2-arm

So I still use existed method implement RC to EP doorbell.

If Thomas Gleixner want to continue work on devmsi-v2-arm, I can help test
and update this patch.
