Hi Dor,

It didn't work.  I used the following option: -vmchannel
di:2258,tcp:0:4444,server (the // confused kvm) and when the VM booted,
I connected with "telnet localhost 4444" which allowed the boot to
proceed.  But, I didn't get the hello host message when I loaded the
hypercall module.  dmesg did show that the module loaded successfully.
I'll dig around with it and see what else I can figure ou
