[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] ioeventfd: error handling cleanup

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

- Don't return status from start/stop functions where it's ignored
- report errors to make debugging easier
- assert on unexpected failures
- don't disable notifiers on error so that we'll
  retry when guest driver restarts

Stefan, could you review/test this and ack/nack appropriately
please?
