Well, since I had to step back and lay some infrastructure groundwork I haven't vetted this approach yet...so its possible what I am about to say is relatively naive: But my primary application is to create a guest-kernel to host IVMC. For that you can just think of the guest as any other process on the host, and it will just use the sockets normally as any host-process would. There might be some thunking that has to happen to deal with gpa vs va, etc, but otherwise its a standard consumer. If you want to extend IVMC up to guest-userspace, I think making some kind of new socket family makes sense in the guests stack. PF_VIRT like someone else suggested, for instance. But since I dont need this type of IVMC I haven't really thought about this too much.
