Looking at the implementation in QEMU, DOORBELL is one DWORD, when
writing to it the upper WORD is the guest id and the lower WORD is the
value.
What am I missing here?


The spec in qemu.git is accurate. The intent is to use an ioeventfd bound into an irqfd so a write into the doorbell injects an interrupt directly into the other guest, without going through qemu^Wkvm tool.
