Hey, Rusty, > For virtualization, we've developed virtio_ring for efficient communication. > This would also work well for userspace-kernel communication, particularly > for things like the tun device. By using the same ABI, we can join guests > to the host kernel trivially. I'm *sure* you meant to document that somewhat non-trivial proposed new kernel API as soon as you got a moment. But, since I went to the trouble of reverse engineering it, I decided not to wait and to make a little unreliable guide of my own.
