The ioeventfd here is actually irqfd handling of an ioeventfd such as supported in KVM. A user is able to pre-program a device write to occur when the eventfd triggers. This is yet another instance of eventfd-irqfd triggering between KVM and vfio. The impetus for this is high frequency writes to pages which are virtualized in QEMU. Enabling this near-direct write path for selected registers within the virtualized page can improve performance and reduce overhead. Specifically this is initially targeted at NVIDIA graphics cards where the driver issues a write to an MMIO register within a virtualized region in order to allow the MSI interrupt to re-trigger.
