Currently ivshmem requires eventfd() which is Linux specific.
Do not and build it unconditionally on every Linux/BSD/Solaris.

This patch indirectly fixes build failure on NetBSD, where these tools
additionally require -lrt for shm_open(3). In future there should be
added support for NetBSD and the linking addressed appropriately.

Is this a v2 patch? If so, it's best to repost it as a new top-level
thread rather than buried in reply to your v1 patch.  Also, be sure to
include v2 in the subject line ('git send-email -v2' works wonders for
that).

It also helps in a v2 submission to list here, after the --- separator,
how it differs from v1.

I reworked it, fixed title and it's more like v3.

Do I still need to resend it?

A human maintainer can often (eventually) figure out what's going on if
you don't, but resending is easier if you want to ensure the automated
patch tools don't lose things.

Yes.

However, ivshmem doesn't have a maintainer.  Since the patch is really
simple, the easiest path forward could be sending a v3 with
cc: qemu-trivial@nongnu.org.

Thank you for your patience (and the patch, of course).
