I think you misunderstood the document.
You can use IPMP in service domain (control domain, hypervisor) in two ways i described earlier.
The document states the third option (which i haven't tried but i see no reason not to work), is to use vsw interfaces on control/service domain to make an ipmp group.
So you have 8 physical interfaces (net0 to net7), consisting of two cards with 4 ports each with their drivers (ixgbe, igb).
You use those interfaces to create VSW (one per interface, so 4 total VSW, 4 are still unused and 2 of those unused are not connected with cable).
I see you have chosen to configure 4 VSWs with 2 ports from each card (hopefully each card is connected to different physical switch)
This creates additional interfaces which you can see under show-phys (DEVICE vsw).
After that for control/service/primary domain you can :
1. Create an ipmp group on control domain consisting of two or more physical interfaces, preferably from different cards (DEVICE ixgbe, igb under show phys)
2. Create an ipmp group on control domain consisting of two or more vsw net interfaces preferably from different cards (DEVICE vsw under show phys)
3. Use ldm commands to add vnet's to primary domain (control/service domain) and use those interfaces (DEVICE vnet under show phys after adding via ldm) to create ipmp group.
For guest ldoms, you will need to add 2 or more vnet's from each VSW and configure ipmp inside ldom (same as third option above, but for guest ldoms).
Also, do you tend to use different VLAN's inside you guest ldoms now or in the future ?
If you even suspect you will use it, configure it now, since it will be a hussle later.
Hope that clears things out.

Just couple of more hints regarding VM.
For VDS, use one VDS - one guest LDOM, don't put everything in primary-vds.
Disable extended-mappin-space everywhere since i noticed sometimes live migration fails with this on.
You might want to disable INTER-VNET-LINK (to off)
I had a situation when network between two guests, that reside same physical machine on the same subnet, just stops working.
I have ran some internal test with those two options on/off (which should improve network throughput), and didn't notice any performance gains, only experienced issue above
Depends on which patchset you are, perhaps those issues are now fixed.
