Got it. Also, would you mind elaborating a bit more on "error out"? E.g. 
do we want to prevent the Qemu from starting at all if a device is 
attempting to use both VIRTIO_F_NOTIFICATION_DATA and ioeventfd? Or do 
you mean something like still keep ioeventfd disabled but also log an 
error message unless it was explicitly disabled by the user?
