It would be a KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR in your case, right?

Yup.

I think we're not, just making sure that the existing x86 ioctls can be
clearly mapping to what you're proposed.

The only change that came up is the rename of KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP_ARGS,
and the addition of a "none" type.  Everything else is just clarifying
the desired semantics (and Gleb correcting me on several accounts---I
hope I haven't caused more confusion).
