You should be able to just use an eventfd or pipe.
Better yet, we should look at using GThreadPool to replace posix-aio-compat.
When interacting with the thread pool is part of some time-critical path
(easily possible with a real-time Linux guest), general-purpose
implementations like what glib offers are typically out of the game.
They do not provide sufficient customizability, specifically control
over their internal synchronization and allocation policies. That
applies to the other rather primitive glib threading and locking
services as well.
