[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-serial: Enable ioeventfd

[Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>]

Enable ioeventfd for virtio-serial devices by default.  Commit
25db9ebe15125deb32958c6df74996f745edf1f9 lists the benefits of using
ioeventfd.

Copying a file from guest to host over a virtio-serial channel didn't
show much difference in time or io_exit rate.
