Pretty sure I pointed you to my RFC already:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/336367/
Paolo wrote: "I think ivshmem depends on ioeventfd"
And mst suggested: "maybe it's easier to implement eventfd APIs"
Which I didn't do, and am not aware anyone else did, but maybe I missed it?
I've dug out my old patch with the tempfile name fix but didn't get to
implementing that missing query while dealing with the qom-cpu pull.

Andreas
