(Applies to kvm.git b59cd3560111)

This series implements a mechanism called "irqfd". It lets you create
an eventfd based file-desriptor to inject interrupts to the guest. We
associate one gsi per fd for proper routing granularity.

We do not have a user of this interface in this series, though note
future version of virtual-bus (v4 and above) will be based on this.

The first two patches will require mainline buy-in, particularly from Davide
(cc'd). The last patch is kvm specific.

kvm-userspace.git patch to follow.
