Send a protocol version as the first message from server, clients must close
communication if they don't support this protocol version.
Older QEMUs should be fine with this change in the protocol since they overrides
their own vm_id on reception of an id associated to no eventfd.

What's the motivation here?
This is at best a way to break all clients if an incompatible
change in the server is made.
Would not it be better to send a bitmap, or a list of supported
versions, so it's possible to write servers compatible
with multiple clients?

associated with?


I don't understand how compatibility works exactly,
a bit more explanation in code comments would be nice.
In particular new client won't work with old server,
will it?

I'm not sure a full-fledged feature negotiation system is needed.  The
ivshmem protocol is local to the host and all participants are under
control of the administrator.

I suggested a protocol version to protect against misconfiguration.  For
example, building QEMU from source but talking to an outdated ivhsmem
server that is still running from before.

Remember that ivshmem-server and QEMU are shipped together by the
distro.  So in 99% of the cases they will have the same version anyway.
But we want to protect against rare misconfiguration that break things
(user mixing and matching incompatible software).

The only reason I can see for fancy negotiation is to make life easier
for proprietary third-party software, which I don't care about or like.

Ok, so how about keeping with this simple mechanism at the moment ?

If this versionning system is too limited in the future, I think we will 
need a global rework on the protocol, anyway.
