This addresses the case where another arch would use an irq bypass
producer (such as vfio platform driver ) and irqfd without
implementing/needing forwarding/posting stuff.

I see 2 solutions: either we have those stubs or in eventfd.c we guard
	irq_bypass_unregister_consumer(&irqfd->consumer);
and
	ret = irq_bypass_register_consumer(&irqfd->consumer);
by

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_BYPASS
#endif

This latter solution maybe is better.

  How

Just tested that without the ARM forwarding implementation of kvm_arch
functions and that runs fine.
