I understand there are a couple of developments underway, but I just want to play around a better sense of things. I think the current hypercall mechanism is the current way to do this using the -vmchannel option. But, I'm not very experienced with PCI devices and their drivers so I need some help. All I want to do is to communicate across a unix domain socket on the host. Besides loading the hypercall module in the guest how do things needs to be configured on the host? Is there a simple tutorial or just a webpage with examples for how to do this?
