Using guest_notifier_mask function in vhost-user case may
break interrupt mask paradigm, because mask/unmask is not
really done when returning from guest_notifier_mask call, instead
message is posted in a unix socket, and processed later.

Add an option bit to disable the use of guest_notifier_mask
in virtio pci.

I think we should rename this x-use-notifier mask.
And I'd rather drop it from all devices where it's not relevant.

I will rename the option x-use-notifier-mask.
Currently, only vhost-net has a vhost-user implementation, isn't it?
so it is the only place were i need to set the option, that's it?
