iofd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd

Please start a separate patchset for this so I can merge irqfd.

Please add a data match capability. virtio uses a write with the data
containing the queue ID, and we want a separate event for each queue.

Too general a name. It's not doing IO, just sending out notifications.
Why have assign/deassign for irqfd and a single ioctl for iofd?
The rest looks good.
