Map gpa:hva 1:1; map gva:gpa 1:1; do direct calls between host userspace
and guest kernel.
Hope to post a patch soon.

Not really evil. It's a nice roundabout loop guest -> testdev ->
chardev -> host -> chardev -> monitor -> kvm -> guest.
Works well, but only for features that are directly controlled via the
monitor. To test save/restore (for vcpu events or fpu) we need
something more direct (guest -> host userspace -> guest).
