ivshmem-plain cannot be used on non-Linux hosts
Goal
Allow use of basic ivshmem-plain devices on host OSes other than Linux, for example macOS.
Technical details
IVSHMEM support is currently requiring eventfds, a Linux-only kernel feature, which provides the doorbell interrupt functionality. Since in some cases ivshmem-plain without doorbell support would be enough, make it possible to build QEMU without eventfd support.
Additional information
I would like to propose this patch as-is on the mailing list (the trivial one?) as soon as I figure patch submission out fully:
https://github.com/fredldotme/qemu/commit/e929b8db8078aede6df7b02d8c0b71d1e2d6afcb
It's just #ifdef
ing out doorbell support on non-Linux builds which seems to be enough for basic functionality.
