This allows migration with the default role which you leave to be chosen by the
hypervisor. In that case we need to change this to:
if (shmem->role != VIR_DOMAIN_SHMEM_ROLE_MASTER) {
In fact, the hypervisor will also check weather the ivshmem device is migratable(by
using migration blocker) or not.
If 'role' is not specified in libvirt, the default role may 'master' or
'peer', we don't kown it,
so, I think it's better to check it in hypervisor.

and this accordingly.
But that's fine, I can change that before pushing. With that change:
Reviewed-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan(a)redhat.com>
but I'll wait after the release since this is a feature.
