[Mooney, Sean K] well ivshmem was deprecated in dpdk and removed and never supported with hugepages memory instead of posixs 
Shared mememy in qemu where it is also deprecated so the first community to approach would be qemu.

I would caution against build new solutions ontop of ivshmem unless you have first measured and demonstrated that vhost-user is not suitable.
