[PATCH 0/2][RFC] exclude ivshmem mr from vhost sections |

The ivshmem me now mapped to vhost memory regions, and it reduces
the number of available memslots of vhost backend, which may
causes vhost backend memory slots limit check failure in
vhost dev init.
Since ivshmem_bar2 not normal RAM in Guest, and it shouldn't
have vhost DMAing into them, exclude it from the vhost sections.
The 1st patch re-spin Dave's patch, see link
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-01/msg02370.html
However, I'm not sure is there any side effects, or maybe it's
better to add a new device property like 'novhost/nodma'?
Thanks,
Xin
