[PATCH v8 4/6] kvm: Add assert-only option to KVM_IRQFD

[Alex Williamson]

This allows specifying that an irqfd is used only to assert the
specified gsi, whereas standard behavior is to follow the assertion
with a deassertion.  This will later allow a level interrupt to be
asserted via eventfd and later de-asserted by other means.

+When KVM_CAP_IRQFD_ASSERT_ONLY is available, KVM_IRQFD supports the
+KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_ASSERT_ONLY which specifies that an interrupt injected
