For some vhostuser daemons, we validate that the guest memory is shared
with the host.
With earlier versions of QEMU, it was only possible to mark memory
as shared by defining an explicit NUMA topology. Later, QEMU exposed
the name of the default memory backend (defaultRAMid) so we can mark
that memory as shared.
Since libvirt commit:
commit bff2ad5d6b1f25da02802273934d2a519159fec7
qemu: Relax validation for mem->access if guest has no NUMA
we already check for the case when user requests shared memory,
but QEMU did not expose defaultRAMid.
Drop the duplicit check from vhostuser device validation, to make
it pass on hotplug even after libvirtd restart.
This avoids the need to store the defaultRAMid, since we don't really
need it for anything after the VM has been already started.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
