This touches an existing ABI and corrupts the definition of
KVM_INTERRUPT IOCTL. The might exist jurisdictions considering this a
capital crime. :)

You rather have to define a new CPU IRQ injection interface that
supports both raising and lowering and declare its availability via a
KVM_CAP. Don't forget to make it extensible (flags field) so that future
requirements can be added without breaking existing users.
