 If datamatch flag is set, the event will be signaled only if the written value
 to the registered address is equal to datamatch in struct kvm_ioeventfd.
 
+If KVM_CAP_IOEVENTFD_NO_LENGTH is present, and when DATAMATCH flag
+is clear, len can be set to 0 to match access of any length.

 For virtio-ccw devices, addr contains the subchannel id and datamatch the
