Hello all,

I am a bit confused about the use of backend drivers by guest os'es.

A guest os must modify/port it's drivers so that they can 
communicate with the backend drivers? Or a guest os stops using 
its own native drivers and just communicates with the backend 
drivers through newly implemented frontend drivers?

I hope you can clear that up for me.

Thanks,
Constantine
