KVM: support any-length wildcard ioeventfd
It is sometimes benefitial to ignore IO size, and only match on address. In hindsight this would have been a better default than matching length when KVM_IOEVENTFD_FLAG_DATAMATCH is not set, In particular, this kind of access can be optimized on VMX: there no need to do page lookups. This can currently be done with many ioeventfds but in a suboptimal way. However we can't change kernel/userspace ABI without risk of breaking some applications. Use len = 0 to mean "ignore length for matching" in a more optimal way. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
