I'm not too happy about code that is completely untestable (worse, right
now it is actually not even runnable).

What are the implications if we drop it? That is, if we go back to your
version that did not include this? If it doesnt impact the kvm irqchip
logic, then I'd rather that we rip it out and leave the device without
masking/unmasking support, keeping irqfd support as an experimental
feature until we can sort this out.
