Thank you very much for catching this. I plan to add the vector
check to the device_name() and request_interrupt() callbacks. I do
not think it is necessary to add the vector check to disable() since
it does not operate on a range and from what I can tell it depends on
a successful enable() that already contains the vector check. Similar,
free_interrupt() requires a successful request_interrupt() (that will
have vector check in next version).
send_eventfd() requires a valid interrupt context that is only
possible if enable() or request_interrupt() succeeded.

If user space creates an eventfd with start = 0 and count = 1
and then attempts to trigger the eventfd using another combination then
the changes in this series will result in a nop while the current
implementation will result in -EINVAL. Is this acceptable?
