If we do a version without irq routing and later add it, old userspace should still work, since KVM_IRQ_LINE still works, right? New userspace on an old kernel can test the KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING capability to see if it can use irqfd. So on the whole, I would like to get it in, provided of course I can get it tested and sent out before the window closes. > b) Please rebase on top of the current state of things, especially the > changed lifecycle assumptions.

OK, I've done that, but I need to grab David Gibson to get a qemu that knows about the new API so I can test it.
