(Applies to kvm.git/master:4631e094)

The following is the latest attempt to fix the remaining races in
irqfd/eventfd.  For more details, please read the patch headers.

This series has been tested against the kvm-eventfd unit test, and
appears to be functioning properly.  You can download this test here:

ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/kvm-eventfd.tar.bz2

(Note: I believe either the eventfd solution in 2/3, or the patch that
Davide has proposed should work equally well.  Its purely a question of
which direction we want to go in w.r.t. the wakeup registration).
