The virtual machine monitor (QEMU) exposes the pvpanic-pci
device to the guest. On guest side the module exists but
currently isn't loaded automatically. So the driver fails
to be probed and does not its job of handling guest panic
events.
Instead of requiring manual modprobe, let's include a device
database using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE macro and let the
module auto-load when the guest gets exposed with such a
pvpanic-pci device.

Pull char / misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of char / misc and other driver subsystem updates
for 5.14-rc1. Included in here are:
- habanalabs driver updates
- fsl-mc driver updates
- comedi driver updates
- fpga driver updates
- extcon driver updates
- interconnect driver updates
- mei driver updates
- nvmem driver updates
- phy driver updates
- pnp driver updates
- soundwire driver updates
- lots of other tiny driver updates for char and misc drivers
This is looking more and more like the "various driver subsystems
mushed together" tree...
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

Create the mecahism that allows multiple pvpanic instances to call
pvpanic_probe and receive panic events. A global list will retain all the
mapped addresses where to write panic events.

Split-up generic and platform dependent code in order to be able to re-use
generic event handling code in pvpanic PCI device driver in the next patches.
The code from pvpanic.c was split in two new files:
- pvpanic.c: generic code that handles pvpanic events
- pvpanic-mmio.c: platform/bus dependent code
