The current code was a little bit odd. At first we've removed all
possible implicit input devices from domain definition to add them later
back if there was any graphics device defined while parsing XML
description. That's not all, while formating domain definition to XML
description we at first ignore any input devices with bus different to
USB and VIRTIO and few lines later we add implicit input devices to XML.
This seems to me as a lot of code for nothing. This patch may look
to be more complicated than original approach, but this is a preferred
way to modify/add driver specific stuff only in those drivers and not
deal with them in common parsing/formating functions.
The update is to add those implicit input devices into config XML to
follow the real HW configuration visible by guest OS.
There was also inconsistence between our behavior and QEMU's in the way,
that in QEMU there is no way how to disable those implicit input devices
for x86 architecture and they are available always, even without graphics
device. This applies also to XEN hypervisor. VZ driver already does its
part by putting correct implicit devices into live XML.

This patch adds parsing/formatting code as well as documentation for
shared memory devices. This will currently be only accessible in QEMU
using it's ivshmem device, but is designed as generic as possible to
allow future expansion for other hypervisors.
In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:
- For shmem device using a server:
<shmem name='shmem0'>
<server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
<msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/>
</shmem>
- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:
<shmem name='shmem1'>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
</shmem>
Most of the configuration is made optional so it also allows
specifications like:
<shmem name='shmem1/>
<shmem name='shmem2'>
<server/>
</shmem>
