Here is a patchset containing an update on ivshmem specs documentation and
importing ivshmem server and client tools.
These tools have been written from scratch and are not related to what is
available in nahanni repository.
I put them in contrib/ directory as the qemu-doc.texi was already telling the
server was supposed to be there.

Changes since v3:
- first patch is untouched
- just restored the Reviewed-By Claudio in second patch
- following patches 3-8 take into account Stefan's comments
- patches 9-12 take into account Gonglei's comments
- patch 13 adjusts ivshmem-server default values
- last patch introduces a change in the ivshmem client-server protocol to
   check a protocol version at connect time

Rather than introducing new files with bugs, followed by patches to
clean it up, why not just introduce the new files correct in the first
place?  I think you are better off squashing in a lot of the cleanup
patches into patch 1.

Actually, I mentioned this in a previous email but did not get any comment.
So, I preferred to send the splitted patches to ease review (from my point of view).

Once code looks fine enough, I intend to keep only three patches :
- one for the initial import of ivshmem-client / server
- one for the documentation update
- one last with the protocol change

Is it okay this way ?
