With this, the guest can talk to a pci device which is connected to a Unix domain socket on the host.", it is classified as a smaller scale task that can be done by someone wishing to get involved. Since the Unix domain socket device is exactly what I need for my degree thesis, I can (I have to) develop this device, but I'm a little lost in the kvm sources and documentation; so I need someone that points me to the right place (documentation and source code) where to start from. I have a fair knowledge in programming, expecially with C, and a "not so bad" knowledge of linux sources since I supervised the porting of linux for the Sam440ep board[1].
