Have you tried simply using IP? Networking is pretty fast between domain 
0 and other domains on the same hardware. If you use a pair of tcp 
sockets synchronization is handled for you.

Of course I'm assuming that you are exchanging data by passing messages 
via the shared memory. Not sure if that is your actual application. 
Also, you don't mention your latency and performance requirements.
