When CONFIG_LINUX is off, devices "virtio-keyboard-device",
"virtio-mouse-device", "virtio-tablet-device" and
"virtio-input-host-device" aren't compiled in, yet
"virtio-keyboard-pci", "virtio-mouse-pci", "virtio-tablet-pci" and
"virtio-input-host-pci" still are. Attempts to introspect them crash,
e.g.
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-tablet-pci,help
**
ERROR:/work/armbru/qemu/qom/object.c:333:object_initialize_with_type: assertion failed: (type != NULL)
Broken in commit 710e2d9 and commit 006a5ed.
Fix by compiling the "virtio-FOO-pci" exactly when compiling the
"virtio-FOO-device": compile "virtio-keyboard-device",
"virtio-mouse-device", "virtio-tablet-device" regardless of
CONFIG_LINUX, and compile "virtio-input-host-pci" only for
CONFIG_LINUX.

This allows to assign host input devices to the guest:
qemu -device virtio-input-host-pci,evdev=/dev/input/event<nr>
The guest gets exclusive access to the input device, so be careful
with assigning the keyboard if you have only one connected to your
machine.

This patch adds the virtio-input-hid base class and
virtio-{keyboard,mouse,tablet} subclasses building on the base class.
They are hooked up to the qemu input core and deliver input events
to the guest like all other hid devices (ps/2 kbd, usb tablet, ...).
Using them is as simple as adding "-device virtio-tablet-device" to
your command line, for use all transports except pci. virtio-pci
support comes as separate patch, once virtio-pci got virtio 1.0
support.

This patch adds virtio-input support to qemu. It brings a abstract
base class providing core support, other classes can build on it to
actually implement input devices.
virtio-input basically sends linux input layer events (evdev) over
virtio.
