This patch needs to move more than just the helpers, e.g. mask_notifier_list
needs to be in "struct kvm", not "stuct kvm_arch".

arch/arm64/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/eventfd.c: In function ‘kvm_register_irq_mask_notifier’:

And kvm_fire_mask_notifiers() should probably be moved as well, otherwise there's
no point in moving the registration to common code.

The other option would be to make the generic functions wrappers around arch-specific
hooks.  But IIRC won't this eventually be needed for other architectures?
