kvm, arm: Switch to the device EQ when accessing ISA devices

ISA devices typically run in the device event queue. Previously, we
assumed that devices would perform their own EQ migrations as
needed. This isn't ideal since it means we have different conventions
for IO devices and ISA devices. Switch to doing migrations in the KVM
CPU instead to make the behavior consistent.
