While ioeventfds are needed for good performance with KVM guests it
should not be a gating requirement. We can run vhost-user backends using
simulated ioeventfds or inband signalling.
With this change I can run:
$QEMU $OPTS \
-display gtk,gl=on \
-device vhost-user-gpu-pci,chardev=vhgpu \
-chardev socket,id=vhgpu,path=vhgpu.sock
with:
./contrib/vhost-user-gpu/vhost-user-gpu \
-s vhgpu.sock \
-v
and at least see things start-up - although the display gets rotated by
180 degrees. Once lightdm takes over we never make it to the login
prompt and just get a blank screen.
