Setting this capability on a vcpu connects that vcpu to an interrupt
controller device.  The args[0] field of the argument kvm_enable_cap
struct specifies the overall architecture of the interrupt
controller.  The args[1] field specifies the CPU number for the vcpu
from the interrupt controller's point of view.

That abbreviation seems a bit awkward, and we should also have a
private-data pointer.

How about:

	u32 irq_arch;
	void *irq_priv;

s/0/KVM_IRQ_ARCH_NONE/

...at least so that this patch makes it clear where other type ids should

Do we really need that wmb()? We're in vcpu context, right? If the vcpu
migrates to another host cpu, that involves rescheduling which already
has a sync.  If the interrupt controller code we call here modifies data
that will be seen from outside the vcpu, it's the responsibility of that
code to use whatever locks, barriers, etc. are needed (and it's unlikely
that vcpu->arch.intr_ctrler will be the relevant thing that it needs to
order with).

This patch should also add a hook at vcpu destruction to call into the
irq code.
