Shawn Furrow proposed a patch more than a month ago:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-September/msg01612.html
But this is a complete different implementation. Considering
there could be other memory related devices in futuer, this
introduces a new device model, called "memory device", instead
of a specific device like "ivshmem", though only "ivshmem"
is supported currently. Please refer to PATCH 1/4 for more
details.
CC'ed to Cam and Shawn, to see if there is advise on the documents.
