[KVM PATCH 0/4] irqfd fixes/enhancements

[Gregory Haskins]

(Applies to kvm.git/master:c27b64a0)

The following series represents my queue of fixes for issues in irqfd, 
which include enhancements to eventfd.  This is a respin of the patches
originally proposed yesterday, called "[KVM-RFC PATCH 0/2] eventfd
enhancements for irqfd/iosignalfd", which you can find a link to the thread
here:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1091852

Aside from introducing a few minor fixes (patches 1/4, 2/4), the general
solution for module reference counting has been extracted from the
(controversial) SRCU enhancement.  We can address the SRCU topic at a later
time.  For now, fixing the race condition is a higher priority item IMO.
Hopefully, this more focused series is more palatable for the
reviewers/maintainers involved.
