[KVM PATCH v8 2/3] KVM: add irqfd DEASSIGN feature

From: Gregory Haskins
Date: Wed Jul 01 2009 - 12:09:52 EST


DEASSIGN allows us to optionally disassociate an IRQFD from its underlying
eventfd without destroying the eventfd in the process. This is useful
for conditions like live-migration which may have an eventfd associated
with a device and an IRQFD. We need to be able to decouple the guest
from the event source while not perturbing the event source itself.
