Fix IO performance regression in sparc

Replace signalfd with signal handler/pipe.  There is no way to interrupt
the CPU execution loop when a file descriptor becomes readable.  This
results in a large performance regression in sparc emulation during
bootup.

This patch switches us to signal handler/pipe which was originally
suggested by Ian Jackson.  The signal handler lets us interrupt the
CPU emulation loop while the write to a pipe lets us avoid the
select/signal race condition.
