Migration with shmem was specifically forbidden by commit:

commit d17fab69be7a73336d388b805c282037ffb29647
Author: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan at redhat.com>

    qemu: Disable migration with ivshmem

    It was never safe anyway and as such shouldn't have been enabled in the
    first place.  Future patches will allow hot-(un)pluging of some ivshmem
    devices as a workaround.

That means that there are probably technical reasons which don't allow
it to be migrated. Unfortunately the commit message does not go in depth
enough here, but you'll need to prove that it's safe now if you ever
want to add the support back.
