I find the commit message hard to understand.  To improve it, let's
figure out what exactly is broken.

The sense of device ivshmem's property use64 is reverted: use64=0
enables the 64 bit memory bar, use64=1 disables it.  Default is 32 bit
unless pc-1.2 or older.  This regressed in commit 5400c02.  Before,
use64 had the correct sense, and the default was 64 bit unless pc-1.2 or
older.

Note that devices ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell always have a 64
bit memory bar, as intended.

Thanks a lot for catching my mistake!

However, this breaks ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell.  You fix that
in the next patch, but that's no good, the two need to be squashed into
a single commit.

Suggested commit message for the squashed commit:

    ivshmem: Fix 64 bit memory bar configuration

    Device ivshmem property use64=0 is designed to make the device
    expose a 32 bit shared memory BAR instead of 64 bit one.  The
    default is a 64 bit BAR, except pc-1.2 and older retain a 32 bit
    BAR.  A 32 bit BAR can support only up to 1 GiB of shared memory.

    This worked as designed until commit 5400c02 accidentally flipped
    its sense: since then, we misinterpret use64=0 as use64=1 and vice
    versa.  Worse, the default got flipped as well.  Devices
    ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell are not affected.

    Fix by restoring the test of IVShmemState member not_legacy_32bit
    that got messed up in commit 5400c02.  Also update its
    initialization for devices ivhsmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell.
    Without that, they'd regress to 32 bit BARs.

Would that work for you?
