Thanks, I made a patch to solve this on ivshmem-server side
(This probably isn't the right place to bring this up, but...)
Would it make sense to turn ivshmem into a frontend for the hostmem
backend? If we do that, then we can use hugetlbfs backed memory, and
possibly get other benefits as well, right?
