    Use signalfd() in io-thread

    This patch reworks the IO thread to use signalfd() instead of sigtimedwait()
    This will eliminate the need to use SIGIO everywhere.

aliguori 9e472e101f Fix IO performance regression in sparc
Replace signalfd with signal handler/pipe.  There is no way to interrupt
the CPU execution loop when a file descriptor becomes readable.  This
results in a large performance regression in sparc emulation during
bootup.
   
This patch switches us to signal handler/pipe which was originally
suggested by Ian Jackson.  The signal handler lets us interrupt the
CPU emulation loop while the write to a pipe lets us avoid the
select/signal race condition.

aliguori 27463101f1 Make compatfd fallback more robust
Be more friendly when signalfd() fails, and also add configure checks to detect
that syscall(SYS_signalfd) actually works.  malc pointed out that some installs
do not have /usr/include/linux headers that are in sync with the glibc headers
so why SYS_signalfd is defined, it's #defined to _NR_signalfd which is not
defined in the /usr/include/linux header.

While this is a distro bug, it doesn't hurt to do a more thorough job in
detection.
