Subject: [PATCH v2] qemu-kvm: add irqfd support
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 00:30:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090424042756.1896.90317.stgit@dev.haskins.net> (raw)

(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.
