Actually our research group (at University of Pisa) is working on some paravirtualization extensions of the e1000 NIC emulation that needs KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_RESAMPLE support. This is one of the reasons why I'm proposing this patch.
Do you suggest modifying vfio_enable_intx_kvm() to take advantage of the patch? I haven't addressed vfio only because I wasn't sure I am "permitted" to do that.
