When we change the device used for the shared memory, it should not
change the settings, so rather save them upfront then having problems
later.

The only thing we are not saving is the role for old ivshmem and that's
because we were not specifying it, which means role=auto and that is
really bad idea to be using (due to various things).  However, we don't
want to change the behaviour, so that's the reason for that.

Details for the defaults of the newer implementation can be found in
qemu's commit 5400c02b90bb:

Shouldn't this be VIR_DOMAIN_SHMEM_ROLE_PEER?


No, this should be DEFAULT, just the naming is weird.  Doorbell has no
roles (e.g. no 'master' parameter) and "DEFAULT" should actually be
called "NONE".

+                dev->data.shmem->size = 0;

+                /* Also they can only exist with MSI and ioeventfd is

+                    dev->data.shmem->msi.ioeventfd = VIR_TRISTATE_SWITCH_ON;

This does not tweak the number of ioeventfd vectors, which will probably
remain 0.


Default is 1, we can configure that if someone wants that in the future.

+            }
+        }
+    }

The above code does not check the following two incompatible configs:
1) device is VIR_DOMAIN_SHMEM_MODEL_IVSHMEM_PLAIN and server is enabled
2) device is VIR_DOMAIN_SHMEM_MODEL_IVSHMEM_DOORBELL and server is disabled


I'll move those checks here as you suggested in some other patch.
