Nice work :)

Did you pin the VMs to cores?
You're sending between 50000-100000 notifications per second, did you
confirm that they are all being received? Since eventfds do not
buffer, some may be lost at that rate. Of course, one would expect
that a single notification should be faster based on these results,
but I'm just curious.
Do you know of any issues with mapping a PIO region to user-space with
the UIO driver framework?
Thanks,
Cam
