Since I completed the testing on the "hypercall-fd" (I call them "iofd" for reasons described in the patch headers) I included those as well for review. Since the irqfd stuff is heavily reviewed and the iofd patches haven't seen the light of day until today, feel free to merge them independently. I included them together because I wanted to avoid forking the CAP bits, etc, for two closely related subsystems. But they technically don't need to go in together if you prefer. Thanks Avi, -Greg
