[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 18/20] block: avoid SIGUSR2

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

From: Frediano Ziglio <freddy77@gmail.com>

Now that iothread is always compiled sending a signal seems only an
additional step. This patch also avoid writing to two pipe (one from signal
and one in qemu_service_io).

Work with kvm enabled or disabled. strace output is more readable (less syscalls).
