  12/**
  13 * The ivshmem server is a daemon that creates a unix socket in listen
  14 * mode. The ivshmem clients (qemu or ivshmem-client) connect to this
  15 * unix socket. For each client, the server will create some eventfd
  16 * (see EVENTFD(2)), one per vector. These fd are transmitted to all
  17 * clients using the SCM_RIGHTS cmsg message. Therefore, each client is
  18 * able to send a notification to another client without being
  19 * "profixied" by the server.
  20 *
  21 * We use this mechanism to send interruptions between guests.
  22 * qemu is able to transform an event on a eventfd into a PCI MSI-x
  23 * interruption in the guest.
  24 *
  25 * The ivshmem server is also able to share the file descriptor
  26 * associated to the ivshmem shared memory.
