The ugly thing in kvm_irqfd_assign() is that we access irqfd without
holding a lock. I think that should rather be fixed than working around
that issue. (e.g. lock() -> lookup again -> verify still in list ->
unlock())

Which tool are you using to generate diffs? git format-patch?

Mentioning, because the indicated function here .... (kvm_irqfd_deassign)

and here are wrong and misleading (kvm_irqfd_deassig). (and just noticed
also in the second hunk)
