Subject: [KVM PATCH v6 4/4] KVM: add irqfd DEASSIGN feature

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.
