This patch aims at optimizing IRQ handling using irqfd framework.
Instead of handling the eventfds on user-side they are handled on
kernel side using
- the KVM irqfd framework,
- the VFIO driver virqfd framework.
the virtual IRQ completion is trapped at interrupt controller
This removes the need for fast/slow path swap.
Overall this brings significant performance improvements.
