Yea, makes sense.

I don't really know whether adding a new type is worth the effort;
let's just drop this patch and keep the interface as it is, since it
makes no harm.

Should I resend the first patch as a separate patch or can it be
applied as it is?

Oh, and are we taking the ivshmem command line as set in stone?
I'm asking because I don't really see the point in that, given that
ivshmem is still experimental and broken in many cases.

Thanks,
