Do we want to disallow multiple eventfds mapping the same irqfd?
No strong opinions but preventing this might make it possible to cache
the callback in the irqfd in the future.

This will also help limit the number of eoifd-s to 1024 GSIs * 32 source ids.
As it is userspace can apparently consume unlimited kernel memory.
