[KVM PATCH v9 0/5] irqfd fixes and enhancements

[Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>]

(Applies to kvm.git/master:1f9050fd)

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.

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

Kind Regards,

	   *) Fixed bad error handing in 3/5
	   *) Changed "init" bitfield in 5/5 to a bool
	   *) Rebased to kvm.git/master:1f9050fd)

	v8:
	   *) Rebased to kvm.git/master:beeaacd1)
	   *) Dropped Davide's patch (2/5 in v7) since it's now upstream

	   *) Cleaned up comments in 1/3
	   *) Dropped v7's 5/5 (slow-work)

	   *) Cleaned up patch headers
	   *) Re-added separate slow-work feature patch to end for comparison
