Add device driver (uio_ivshmem.ko) on guest

1 start guest 

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1204 -hda /home/xzl/virtual_machine/ubuntu-12.04-amd64-test.img -localtime -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=52-54-00-12-34-2,model=virtio -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap2,script=no -boot c -smp 2 -chardev socket,path=/tmp/ivshmem_socket,id=foo -device ivshmem,chardev=foo,size=256

2 make and make install driver kernel modules on VM

cd Nahanni/kernel_module/uio/
make 
make install

Makefile for driver kernel modules

# obj-m is a list of what kernel modules to build.  The .o and other
# objects will be automatically built from the corresponding .c file -
# no need to list the source files explicitly.

obj-m := uio_ivshmem.o 

# KDIR is the location of the kernel source.  The current standard is
# to link to the associated source tree from the directory containing
# the compiled modules.
KDIR  := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

# PWD is the current working directory and the location of our module
# source files.
PWD   := $(shell pwd)

# default is the default make target.  The rule here says to run make
# with a working directory of the directory containing the kernel
# source and compile only the modules in the PWD (local) directory.
default:
        $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules

install:
        cp uio_ivshmem.ko /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/drivers/uio/

clean:
        rm -f *.ko *.o uio_ivshmem.mod.c Module.symvers

make install == "cp uio_ivhshmem.ko /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/driver/uio/"

3 install driver kernel modules 

cd /lib/modules/3.5.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/uio/
sudo insmod uio.ko
sudo insmod uio_ivshmem.ko

4 verification

 ls /dev/uio*

you will see

/dev/uio0

or

ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers

agpgart-intel  ahci        ata_generic  ehci_hcd  ioapic         ohci_hcd    pata_acpi  pcieport     serial  uhci_hcd     virtio-pci        xhci_hcd
agpgart-via    asiliantfb  ata_piix     imsttfb   langwell_gpio  parport_pc  pata_sis   piix4_smbus  tsi721  uio_ivshmem  xen-platform-pcii

you can find uio_ivshmem in /sys/pci/drivers

or

ls /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:04.0/driver/module/drivers/

you also can find uio_ivshmem 

pci:uio_ivshmem

0000:00:04.0 is the busID of ivshmem device

you can fetch the busID through "lspci"

5 problems

It is failed to load the uio_ivshmem driver modules at boot time when I edit the /etc/modules adding lines uio and uio_ivshmem

I can't figure out the reason.
