The file ivshmem.c unconditionally references event_notifier_init_fd() in
util/event_notifier-posix.c, even if CONFIG_EVENTFD is not defined. On
platforms where CONFIG_POSIX is defined, but CONFIG_EVENTFD is not defined,
that results in an undefined symbol referenced from ivshmem.c and the link
fails. That applies to Mac OS X, but possibly other BSD-based distros.
Note: there is nothing specific to eventfd inside and event_notifier_init()
also fails unconditionally if CONFIG_EVENTFD is not defined.
