The vhost-user protocol uses the Linux eventfd feature and is typically
connected to Linux kvm.ko ioeventfd and irqfd file descriptors. The
protocol specification in docs/interop/vhost-user.rst does not describe
how platforms without eventfd support work.

The QEMU vhost-user devices compile on other POSIX host operating
systems because eventfd usage is abstracted in QEMU. The libvhost-user
programs in contrib/ do not compile but we failed to notice since they
are not built by default.

Make it clear that vhost-user is only supported on Linux for the time
being. If someone wishes to support it on other platforms then the
details can be added to vhost-user.rst and CI jobs can test the feature
to prevent bitrot.
