[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/4] qemu-kvm: morph qemu_kvm_notify_work into qemu.git's qemu_event_increment

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

No need to loop if < 8 bytes are written, since that will happen only
for pipes and is harmless.  eventfd writes of 8 bytes will always succeed
or fail with EAGAIN.
