Linux IRQ and active should be okay.  As to the vfio_device handle, you
should link it from the vfio_platform_device instead.  And for the
vfio_platform_device, you can link it from the vfio_platform_irq instead.

Once you've done this, embed the irq_bypass_producer struct in the
vfio_platform_irq struct; in the new kvm_arch_* functions, go back to
the vfio_platform_irq struct via container_of.  From there you can
retrieve pointers to the vfio_platform_device and the vfio_device.

You do not need to add these.  Instead, add the kvm handle to irqfd
only.  Like above, embed the irq_bypass_consumer struct in the irqfd
struct; in the new kvm_arch_* functions, go back to the
vfio_platform_irq struct via container_of.
