/*
 * Theory of operation
 *
 * The IRQ bypass manager is a simple set of lists and callbacks that allows
 * IRQ producers (ex. physical interrupt sources) to be matched to IRQ
 * consumers (ex. virtualization hardware that allows IRQ bypass or offload)
 * via a shared token (ex. eventfd_ctx).  Producers and consumers register
 * independently.  When a token match is found, the optional @stop callback
 * will be called for each participant.  The pair will then be connected via
 * the @add_* callbacks, and finally the optional @start callback will allow
 * any final coordination.  When either participant is unregistered, the
 * process is repeated using the @del_* callbacks in place of the @add_*
 * callbacks.  Match tokens must be unique per producer/consumer, 1:N pairings
 * are not supported.
