These few patches are the result of a random hacking I did to make the qemu
cope with eventfd allocation failure, when using an iothread,

I am not 100% sure which patches in this series are worth to merge, or if
this can be fixed in a better way.

After this patch series applied, qemu still hangs while running reproducer for
this BZ due to ABBA lock inversion which needs some heavy rework to get rid of.
I explained all the (gory) details in the bugzilla.

This patch series was (lightly) tested with make check, iotests and with
the reproducer.
