With the possibility of using pipefd as a replacement on operating
systems that doesn't support eventfd, vhost-user can also work on BSD
systems.
This change allows enabling vhost-user on BSD platforms too and
makes libvhost_user (which still depends on eventfd) a linux-only
feature.

I would just check for !windows.

It should work on every system providing pipe() or pipe2(), so I guess Paolo's right, every platform except Windows. FWIW, I already tested it with Darwin. Thanks, Sergio.

We already use pipe/pipe2 without checking for it, because its usage is confined to oslib-posix.c and we know all POSIX OS have it. There is no impl at all of qemu_pipe in oslib-win.c and the declaration is masked out too in the header file. Thus if we check for pipe2 and windows did ever implement it, then we would actually break the windows build due to qemu_pipe not existing. IOW, checking !windows matches our logic for picking oslib-posix.c in builds and so is better than checking for pipe directly.

Recent Windows has AF_UNIX so don't check for that ! What you really need is AF_UNIX and FD passing and pipes and probably more POSIX only features ...

In "configure", CONFIG_POSIX is set to "y" if the target isn't "mingw32", and CONFIG_POSIX brings "util/oslib-posix.c" into the build, which expects to have either pipe or pipe2. Thanks, Sergio.
