[v3] qemu-kvm: add irqfd support

Commit Message

Gregory Haskins April 27, 2009, 7 p.m. UTC

(Applies to qemu-kvm.git 8f7a30dbc40a1d4c09275566f9ed9647ed1ee50f)

irqfd lets you create an eventfd based file-desriptor to inject interrupts
to a kvm guest.  We associate one gsi per fd for fine-grained routing.
