Hello,

So I've been debugging uio_ivshmem.c with print statements, and I think have a 
theory for what's going wrong:

I believe the ivshem-net driver is being attached to the root cell's ivshmem 
PCI device before the uio_ivshmem driver can, since I compiled the kernel with 
CONFIG_IVSHMEM_NET=Y.

It appears that uio_ivshmem is not successfully completing the UIO probe stage, 
because it's probing PCI device `f` (ivshmem-demo's ivshmem device) instead of 
PCI device `e` (the root cell's ivshmem device). uio_ivshmem never probes 
device `e` because it's already taken by ivshmem-net. So uio_ivshmem appears to 
find the next available ivshmem device, which is `f`. But since it's not 
allowed access (maybe?), the driver fails and doesn't set up properly.

Even when I manually unbind ivshmem-net from device `e`, whenever I start 
jailhouse, it seems to automatically rebind. So I guess that means that I'll 
need to rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_IVSHMEM_NET=N to allow uio_ivshmem a 
chance to bind to `e`.

I'm still investigating, but wanted to see if I'm on the right track here.

Thanks,
Michael
