The ioeventfd mechanism is used by vhost, dataplane, and virtio-pci to
turn guest MMIO/PIO writes into eventfd file descriptor events.  This
allows arbitrary threads to be notified when the guest writes to a
specific MMIO/PIO address.

qtest and TCG do not support ioeventfd because memory writes are not
checked against registered ioeventfds in QEMU.  This patch implements
this in memory_region_dispatch_write() so qtest can use ioeventfd.

Also this patch fixes vhost aborting on some misconfigured old kernels
like 3.18.0 on ARM. It is possible to explicitly enable CONFIG_EVENTFD
in expert settings, while MMIO binding support in KVM will still be
missing.
