It is needed.

irqfd (which only supports edge-triggered interrupts now).  Note irqfd 
needs the same love, it uses a workqueue as well.

The theory is:
  fd1 = eventfd()
  give fd1 to kvm as irqfd, vhost-net as trigger fd
  fd2 = eventfd()
  give fd2 to kvm as irqfd, uio as trigger fd
  fd3 = evenfd()
  give fd3 to kvm as irqfd, another kvm as ioeventfd

One interface, multiple users (in the kernel, userspace, or other processes)
