kvm_check_extension() explodes when KVM isn't enabled so we need to
first test whether KVM is enabled.  Use kvm_irqchip_in_kernel() for
this since it matches the test we do before using this result.

vfio_pci is supposed to be architecture-independent code, right?
kvm.h says you mustn't use kvm_irqchip_in_kernel() in such code
(its semantics vary from arch to arch). I think kvm_enabled()
is sufficient here since what we're actually guarding is just
the kvm_check_extension call.

Here, yes.  The other call spot we're matching is specifically looking
for whether kvm is capable of using IRQFD_RESAMPLE and whether it should
be used.  I think kvm_irqfds_enabled() is probably the right way to go.
Post 1.3 we might want to make kvm_intx_via_irqfd_enabled which
encapsulates the IRQFD_RESAMPLE test.  I'll do some testing and repost a
kvm_irqfds_enabled() version.  Thanks,

Alex
