Dest qemu: -incoming.. -chardev socket,path=dest-server 

That is, start your destination qemu with a destination server. The master

when the migration is done.

I gave you some clues on how I did it in ivshmem-test.c: waiting for a signature on the memory to be mapped (and also checking that peers received ids)

If you have received ID, you should be good to use the doorbell.
