Hello,
Now that irqfd support (backend to guest interrupt) is already merged, this series solves the other part of the problem, i.e. ioeventfd (guest to backend interrupt).
More details inside the commits.

V2->V3: - Remove explicit barriers and depend on spin lock instead to take care of it. - Move check for empty ioeventfds list to privcmd_ioeventfd_deassign(), which could earlier call ioreq_free() even when the list wasn't empty and so we returned without printing a warning in v1 earlier. V2 implemented it incorrectly.
V1->V2: - Increment irq_info refcnt only for valid info. - Use u64 type for addr. - Add comments for use of barriers. - Use spin lock instead of mutex as we need to use them in irq handler. - Add a warning when kioreq is getting freed and ioeventfds list isn't empty. - Use struct_size(). - Validate number of vcpus as well.
