If I can make AMD bare-metal "instances" available to you, would that help?

Separately, I'd quite like to see the eventfd→MSI delivery linkage not
use the IRQ routing table at all, and not need a GSI# assigned. Doing
it that way is just a scaling and performance issue.

I recently looked through the irqfd code and came to the conclusion
that it wouldn't be hard to add a new user API which allows us to
simply configure the kvm_irq_routing_entry to be delivered when a given
eventfd fires, without using the table.

I haven't had a chance to look hard, hopefully your rework doesn't make
that any less feasible...
