[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 08/16] notifier: add validity check and notify function

[zwu . kernel]

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <address@hidden>

Event notifiers that have not had the event_notifier_init() function
called on them are invalid.  The event_notifier_valid() function checks
whether or not an event notifier is valild.  This can be used to check
whether a notifier is in use or not.

It sometimes useful to notify the event notifier, for example when vhost
is on the receiving end of the event notifier and qemu needs to notify
it.  The event_notifier_notify() function will signal the eventfd and
increment it by one.
