So qxl has ioports, but it really really really doesn't want you to write to them twice, but if you write and get a signal before the irq arrives to let you know its completed, you have to think ahead and avoid writing another time.
However this works fine for update area where really multiple writes aren't the end of the world, however with create primary surface, you can't ever do multiple writes. So this stop internal kernel writes from doing interruptible waits, because otherwise we have no idea if this write is a new one or a continuation of a previous one.
virtual hw sucks more than real hw.
This fixes lockups and VM crashes when resizing and starting/stopping X.
