How would you communicate between two bare-metal hosts?  Emulate that
same setup in your two guests.

You appear to be intent on setting up shared memory solutions, when I
think the better thing is to focus on setting up efficient emulated
network device solutions.  Then your code will be portable no matter how
the network device frontend is hooked up to the host backend (and it may
be possible to have a host backend that uses shared memory for a very
efficient network device emulation when two VMs are on the same host,
but which can also be ported to work between VMs on different hosts by
using regular networking - and that's what virtio-net is focusing on
defining).
