Please don't add new things to mdev, put the req_trigger in the vdcm_idxd
struct vfio_device class.

and similarly this shouldn't be called mdev_irqs and the code in here
should have nothign to do with mdevs. Providing the special IRQ
emulation stuff is just generic vfio_device functionality with no
linkage to mdev.

Yuk, don't do stuff like that, if it needs a mdev then pass in a mdev.
