This builds but it's not tested at all.

- Make all the work of the old anon_inode_getfd(), done by a new 
  anon_inode_getfile(), with anon_inode_getfd() using its services

- Make all the work done by sys_eventfd(), done by a new 
  eventfd_file_create() (which in turn uses anon_inode_getfile()), with 
  sys_eventfd() using its services

IRQfd can use eventfd_file_create(), fget(), get_unused_fd_flags() and 
fd_install() just before returning.
Is that what you had in mind?
