Interesting. I admit I was merely transcribing what qemu_set_fd_handler() 
passes without really looking into the values. Looking at the arguments that 
virtio-blk passes to aio_set_event_notifier() though, and what 'is_external' 
means, it would appear that setting it to true is probably the right thing to 
do. Do you want me to send a v2 of the series or can you fix it up?

  Cheers,
