There is no code in >>QEMU<< that actually triggers notifications to the
guest when using vhost.
When you are using vhost, interrupts are triggered directly to the guest.
The interrupt lines are mapped as a shared memory, that don't pass
through QEMU, if they don't have to.
Indeed, there is an initial setup in QEMU that makes this configuration.
Note:
The things that I am saying are somewhat deductions from what I've
studied from the code myself and some answers
from qemu-devel (so I cannot assure you on the correctness of this
answer), as the kvm and virtualization community themselves
aren't very active.
