A intr_handle is being allocated as a hack to get a (proxy) eventfd from
the Linux interrupt implementation.
But this handle is never freed.

Remove this convoluted hack and create an eventfd in Linux case.

How this impacts the BSD? I don't know if driver used on BSD but technically it looks supported.

@Gaetan, any objection to the change?
