(applies to kvm-userspace.git 84474e4f39)

This adds userspace support for the irqfd mechanism in the kernel, published
here:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/24/6

This is v2.  Changes since v1:

*) bug-fix to prevent returning "0" for success on allocation

---------------------

There are no current users, though the future virtual-bus v4 has plans to
adopt it.

Do we need to close fd on error?

Good catch.  This will be changing in v3 to do the allocation in kernel,
but I will be sure to properly cleanup this type of leak, however that
ends up looking.

Thanks Michael.
