[Qemu-devel] Linux SIGIO handling changes

I am resending this patch, split into two parts now.

This cleans up SIGIO handling to improve latency:
- SIGALRM for alarm timers
- enable SIGIO on qemu_set_fd_handler2()

The issue was found in KVM, where it is much more visible,
because there is no periodic timer. However, it has been
confirmed (by Aurelien Jarno) that even for qemu, this
approach "improves network transfers in a huge way".

Please apply, or give a firm rejection so I can stop resending.

Cheers,
Anders.
