If we ever want to use this with e.g. MSI-X emulation in guest, and want
to be stricly compliant to MSI-X, we'll need a way for guest to mask
interrupts, and for host to report that a masked interrupt is pending.
Ideally, all this will be doable with a couple of mmapped pages to avoid
vmexits/system calls.

This will do weird stuff (deliver the irq twice) if the irq is
MSI/MSI-X. I know this was discussed already and is a temporary
shortcut, but maybe add a comment that we really want kvm_toggle_irq,
so that we won't forget?
