Actually it's wrong.  The two sources are not synchronized, so there is
no way for them to know the two edges did not coalesce.  On real
hardware, after all, edge interrupts have a non-zero pulse width, and
kvm faithfully emulates this.

But this patch makes sense for level irqfd, so we might as well keep it
with a different description.
