It's a little odd to use signals to raise a notification on a file descriptor
when we can just work directly with a file descriptor instead. This patch
converts the SIGUSR1 based notification in the io-thread to instead use an
eventfd file descriptor. If eventfd isn't available, we use a pipe() instead.
The benefit of using eventfd is that multiple notifications will be batched
into a signal IO event.
