What will be affected is VFIO which uses IRQFD
for level interrupts with KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_RESAMPLE.
I suspect this will need a kernel change, maybe
a new flag for IRQFD: KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_ACTIVE_LOW,
since at the moment that does:

static void
irqfd_inject(struct work_struct *work)
{
        struct _irqfd *irqfd = container_of(work, struct _irqfd, inject);
        struct kvm *kvm = irqfd->kvm;

        if (!irqfd->resampler) {
                kvm_set_irq(kvm, KVM_USERSPACE_IRQ_SOURCE_ID, irqfd->gsi, 1,
                                false);
                kvm_set_irq(kvm, KVM_USERSPACE_IRQ_SOURCE_ID, irqfd->gsi, 0,
                                false);
        } else
                kvm_set_irq(kvm, KVM_IRQFD_RESAMPLE_IRQ_SOURCE_ID,
                            irqfd->gsi, 1, false);
}
