Hi,
There is a small scale TODO task in kvm, 'Add a Unix domain socket
device. With this, the guest can talk to a pci device which is
connected to a Unix domain socket on the host.'. I would like to park
on this and contribute a patch. If any one is also planning to to do
this, we can coordinate and accomplish the task.
I understand that using existing iodev infrastructure the unix domain
sockets can be made available to guests as kvm_io_device.
I would be great if anyone can provide more information/inputs on the
problem and use-cases to be addressed.
Thanks,
Narendra.

This was already implemented in qemu (as a large scale TODO) and is
called virtio-serial.
