H A Diothread.ccdd7abfdba9287a289c404dfdcb02316f9ffee7d Thu Jan 26 17:01:19 UTC 2017 Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> iothread: enable AioContext polling by default

IOThread AioContexts are likely to consist only of event sources like
virtqueue ioeventfds and LinuxAIO completion eventfds that are pollable
from userspace (without system calls).

We recently merged the AioContext polling feature but didn't enable it
by default yet. I have gone back over the performance data on the
mailing list and picked a default polling value that gave good results.

Let's enable AioContext polling by default so users don't have another
switch they need to set manually. If performance regressions are found
we can still disable this for the QEMU 2.9 release.
