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.
