Evtchn fifos are not needed on smaller systems; the older interface is
lightweight and sufficient. Also, event_fifo causes runtime anonymous
memory allocations, which are undesirable. Additionally, it exposes an
extra interface to the guest, which is also undesirable unless
necessary.
Make it possible to disable evtchn fifo.

+ The Event channel Fifo extends support for event channels
+ beyond 1024 event channels for 32-bit guests and 4096 for
+ 64-bit guests.
+
+ Cons: They cause runtime anonymous memory allocations and expose
+ an additional interface to the guest. For smaller systems, you
