I sent out a patch series this morning that splits out our code into a
core part, containing the socket family/operations, and a VMCI-specific
part. The core makes callbacks via a new transport layer into VMCI.
It's not perfect -- there's still some cruft in the core socket
structure -- but it lays the foundation of a hypervisor-neutral channel,
and hopefully we can build on this with your help. It'd be great if
you could take a look.

Thanks!
