This patch makes possible to instantiate the VFIO Calxeda xgmac device
which is already in the master. The rest of the series enables irqfd
usage by the base VFIO device so to me it is independent. Currently
eventfds are handled on user-side, which is particularly inefficient but
functional.

Let me know if you prefer I resend the whole series.

Best Regards

Eric
