I generally prefer to put the error case in the conditional, and keep
the normal case out of it, like this:

       ret = kvm_irqchip_remove_irqfd_notifier_gsi(kvm_state, n, v->virq);
       if (ret < 0) {
           error_report("remove_irqfd_notifier_gsi failed");
       }
       v->unmasked = false;

However, that makes ivshmem_vector_mask() and ivshmem_vector_unmask()
even more asymmetric.  Hmm.

For consistency with other comments in this file, put () after the
function name, and two spaces after the sentence-ending period.

Only nit-picking, so:
