	During the review of the dataplane code, the EventPoll API morphed itself (not concidentially) into something very very similar to an AioContext. Thus, it is trivial to convert virtio-blk-dataplane to use AioContext, and a first baby step towards letting dataplane talk directly to the QEMU block layer. The only interesting note is the value-copy of EventNotifiers. At least in my opinion this is part of the EventNotifier API and is even portable to Windows. Of course, in this case you should not close the notifier's underlying file descriptors or handle with event_notifier_cleanup.

2013-01-02	dataplane: add event loop	Stefan Hajnoczi
	Outside the safety of the global mutex we need to poll on file descriptors. I found epoll(2) is a convenient way to do that, although other options could replace this module in the future (such as an AioContext-based loop or glib's GMainLoop). One important feature of this small event loop implementation is that the loop can be terminated in a thread-safe way. This allows QEMU to stop the data plane thread cleanly.
