VIFO uses irqfd, no? So, why legacy device assignment needs that code
to achieve parity with VFIO? Also why long term? What are the
complications?

I prefer to figure that out before introducing the interface. Hmm, we
can get rid of vcpu loop in pic (should be very easily done by checking
for kvm_apic_accept_pic_intr() during apic configuration and keeping
global extint vcpu) and then sorting irq routing entries so that ioapic
entry is first since only ioapic injection can fail.
