(Applies to kvm.git/master:4631e094)

The following is the latest attempt to fix the races in irqfd/eventfd, as
well as restore DEASSIGN support.  For more details, please read the patch
headers.

You can also find this applied as a git tree:

git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ghaskins/linux-2.6-hacks.git kvm/irqfd

For reviewing convenience, here is a link to the entire virt/kvm/eventfd.c
file after the patches are applied:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ghaskins/linux-2.6-hacks.git;a=blob;f=virt/kvm/eventfd.c;h=409d9e160f1f85618a5e3772937b2721a249399a;hb=85cfd57e33dcaea29971513334ca003764653b21

As always, this series has been tested against the kvm-eventfd unit test, and
appears to be functioning properly. You can download this test here:

ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/kvm-eventfd.tar.bz2

I've included version 4 of Davide's eventfd patch (ported to kvm.git) so
that its a complete reviewable series.  Note, however, that there may be
later versions of his patch to consider for merging, so we should
coordinate with him.
