> kvm_check_request is now somewhat a misnomer (what is the difference between test and check?)
kvm_check_request has always been poetic; it uses two meanings of
check, "examine" and "tick off", at the same time.
We also want something that clears the request, so kvm_drop_request was
my best candidate so far.

I wonder why haven't we copied the naming convention from bit operations
(or if programming would be better if German was its language),
kvm_test_request
kvm_set_request
kvm_clear_request
kvm_test_and_clear_request
The only disadvantage is that
kvm_test_and_clear_request
is longer than
kvm_check_request

I could live with that.
