late onto this thread: SUSE Security team has just recently
done a thorough review of QEMU ivshmem code because a customer has
requested this be supported in SLES12. Multiple security-related
patches were submitted by Stefan Hajnoczi and Sebastian Krahmer, and I
fear they are probably still not merged for lack of active
maintainer... In such cases, after review, I expect them to be picked
up by Peter as committer or via qemu-trivial.
So -1, against dropping it.
Are these patches on patchwork ?
Vincent, you will find an RFC for an ivshmem-test in the qemu-devel
list archives or possibly on my qtest branch. The blocking issue that
I haven't worked on yet is that we can't unconditionally run the qtest
because it depends on KVM enabled at configure time (as opposed to
runtime) to have the device available.

As others have stated before, the nahanni server seems unmaintained,
thus not getting packaged by SUSE either and making testing the
interrupt parts of ivshmem difficult - unless we sort out and fill
with actual test code my proposed qtest.
Thanks for the RFC patch.
About ivshmem server, yes I will look at it.
I will see what I can propose or if importing nahanni implementation
as-is is the best solution.
Anyway, first, documentation.
