For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win, in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
