 Note 'irq' is an interrupt vector, not an interrupt pin or line.

+Queues an external interrupt to be injected. This ioctl is overleaded
+with 3 different irq values:
+
+a) KVM_INTERRUPT_SET
+
+  This injects an edge type external interrupt into the guest once it's ready
+  to receive interrupts. When injected, the interrupt is done.
+
+b) KVM_INTERRUPT_UNSET
+
+  This unsets any pending interrupt.
+
+  Only available with KVM_CAP_PPC_UNSET_IRQ.
+
+c) KVM_INTERRUPT_SET_LEVEL
+
+  This injects a level type external interrupt into the guest context. The
+  interrupt stays pending until a specific ioctl with KVM_INTERRUPT_UNSET
+  is triggered.
+
+  Only available with KVM_CAP_PPC_IRQ_LEVEL.
+
+Note that any value for 'irq' other than the ones stated above is invalid
+and incurs unexpected behavior.
