+Capability: KVM_CAP_IRQFD
+Architectures: x86
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_irqfd (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Allows setting an eventfd to directly trigger a guest interrupt.
+kvm_irqfd.fd specifies the file descriptor to use as the eventfd and
+kvm_irqfd.gsi specifies the irqchip pin toggled by this event. When
+an event is tiggered on the eventfd, an interrupt is injected into
+the guest using the specified gsi pin. The irqfd is removed using
+the KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_DEASSIGN flag, specifying both kvm_irqfd.fd
+and kvm_irqfd.gsi.
