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.

How about "u64 cookie" ?

Sure, and a bit in flags to enable it.

Too general a name.  It's not doing IO, just sending out notifications.

Hmm...good point.  I was trying to reflect "[MM/P]IO-FD".  How about
"IOSIGNALFD"

Okay.

Why have assign/deassign for irqfd and a single ioctl for iofd?
Heh..  irqfd "liked" two because the deassign only needed a u32.  iofd
needed more or less the same structure for both so I guess I thought I
would be "slick" and condense the vectors.  Will fix so they are
symmetrical.

Yeah. You could have both use just one, or both use two. Not sure which is better.
