We should just disable ivshmem for non-KVM


because it is also breaking Windows builds.

Alternatively, the right way to do what this patch does, is to add 
kvm_set_ioeventfd_mmio_long to kvm-stub.c, and to use 
"obj-$(CONFIG_POSIX) += ivshmem.o" in the makefile to work around the 
Windows build problems.

This patch fixes mingw32 build for me.

I think we decided to disable it on non-KVM systems to avoid people
stumbling into atomicity issues with emulation.
