When the new option 'irq-eventfd' is turned on, the IO emulation code signals an eventfd when it want to (de)assert an irq. The main loop eventfd handler does the actual irq (de)assertion. This paves the way for iothread support since QEMU's interrupt emulation is not thread safe.
Asserting and deasseting irq with eventfd has some performance implications. For small queue depth it increases request latency but for large queue depth it effectively coalesces irqs.
