For virtio-ccw devices, addr contains the subchannel id and datamatch the
virtqueue index.
+With KVM_CAP_FAST_MMIO, a zero length mmio eventfd is allowed for
+kernel to ignore the length of guest write and get a possible faster
+response. Note the speedup may only work on some specific
+architectures and setups. Otherwise, it's as fast as wildcard mmio
+eventfd.
