Would irq_ack_notifiers be used at all with this patch set?  Resampling
of IOAPIC level-triggered interrupts would be implemented in userspace.
 For the same reason, assigned devices using legacy device assignment
probably would not be able to use INTX (so this feature should depend on
!KVM_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT).  Add the emulated i8254 and the last user of
irq_ack_notifiers goes away.

Alex, how does VFIO do INTX resampling if you're using TCG or -machine
kernel_irqchip=off?  (Context: this series keeps the local APIC
emulation in the kernel, thus including MSI, but moves the IOAPIC
emualtion to userspace).
