[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] main-loop: fix qemu_notify_event for aio_notify optimization |

aio_notify can be optimized away, and in fact almost always will. However,
qemu_notify_event is used in places where this is incorrect---most notably,
when handling SIGTERM. When aio_notify is optimized away, it is possible that
QEMU enters a blocking ppoll immediately afterwards and stays there, without
reaching main_loop_should_exit().
Fix this by using a bottom half. The bottom half can be optimized too, but
scheduling it is enough for the ppoll not to block. The hang is thus avoided.
