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