Kernel: Add the DeviceController class in the PCI subsystem

Browse source 
Such device is not an IRQHandler by itself, but actually a controller of
many IRQ or MSI devices. The purpose of this class is to manage multiple
sources of interrupts.

For example, a generic ISA IDE controller controls 2 IRQ sources - 14
and 15. So, when we initialize the IDE controller, it will initialize
two IDE channels (also known as PATAChannels) to utilize IRQ 14 and 15,
respectively. NVMe with MSI-X support can theoretically handle up to
2048 interrupts.
