    q35: Revert to kernel irqchip

    Commit b2fc91db84 ("q35: set split kernel irqchip as default") changed
    the default for the pc-q35-4.0 machine type to use split irqchip, which
    turned out to have disasterous effects on vfio-pci INTx support.  KVM
    resampling irqfds are registered for handling these interrupts, but
    these are non-functional in split irqchip mode.  We can't simply test
    for split irqchip in QEMU as userspace handling of this interrupt is a
    significant performance regression versus KVM handling (GeForce GPUs
    assigned to Windows VMs are non-functional without forcing MSI mode or
    re-enabling kernel irqchip).

    The resolution is to revert the change in default irqchip mode in the
    pc-q35-4.1 machine and create a pc-q35-4.0.1 machine for the 4.0-stable
    branch.  The qemu-q35-4.0 machine type should not be used in vfio-pci
    configurations for devices requiring legacy INTx support without
    explicitly modifying the VM configuration to use kernel irqchip.
