PATCH 1/2 eventfd: reorganize the code to simplify new flags

In reply to a message not in the archive

This slightly reorganizes the code in eventfd, encapsulating counter math in inline functions, so that it will be easier to add a new flag. No functional changes.

PATCH 2/2 eventfd: EFD_STATE flag

In reply to a message not in the archive

This implements a new EFD_STATE flag for eventfd.
This changes eventfd behaviour in the following way:
- write simply stores the value written, and is always non-blocking
- read unblocks when the value written changes, and returns the value written

Motivation: we'd like to use eventfd in qemu to pass interrupts from (emulated or assigned) devices to guest. For level interrupts, the counter supported currently by eventfd is not a good match: we really need to set interrupt to a level, typically 0 or 1, and give the guest ability to see the last value written.

In any case, this usage of eventfd_writeable is wrong: the code was like this:

- if (ULLONG_MAX - ctx->count < n)
- n = (int) (ULLONG_MAX - ctx->count);
- ctx->count += n;
+ eventfd_dowrite(ctx, n);

and so it should be !eventfd_writable. (This smelled when I was editing patch 2, so I went back and checked patch 1).

Right, patch 2 actually fixed this back. The best thing is to open-code it actually, since we handle it in a way that only applies to a counter, anyway. Will post a fixed v1.
