I guess good news, because we can rule out the kernel (not that I
believed it was a kernel problem, but the thought is always there in
the background...).

The interaction between ioeventfd and dataplane is too complicated.  I
think if we get rid of the start/stop ioeventfd calls (just set up the
ioeventfd as soon as possible and then only set/clear the handlers)
things would be much simpler.

I'll see if I can produce something based on Conny's patches, which are
already a start.  Today I had a short day so I couldn't play with the
bug; out of curiosity, does the bug reproduce with her work + patch 4
from this series + the reentrancy assertion?
