I don't think len != 8 makes much sense for the way ioeventfd is
defined for ccw (we handle hypercalls with a payload specifying the
device), but we currently don't actively fence it.

But regardless, I'd prefer to decide directly upon whether userspace
actually tried to register for the mmio bus.

Do you need to handle the ioeventfd_count changes on the fast mmio bus
as well?
