[LAD] Writing to an eventfd from a realtime thread

[karthik poduval]

You could also use a jack_rigbuffer_t, its lock free and hence should be RT
thread safe.
You could write a known msg into the ring buffer from the RT thread,
receive the msg from non real-time thread and do event passing from there.
