To get the ball rolling after my presentation of the topic at KVM Forum
[1] and many fruitful discussions around it, this is a first concrete
code series. As discussed, I'm starting with the IVSHMEM implementation
of a QEMU device and server. It's RFC because, besides specification and
implementation details, there will still be some decisions needed about
how to integrate the new version best into the existing code bases.

If you want to play with this, the basic setup of the shared memory
device is described in patch 1 and 3. UIO driver and also the
virtio-ivshmem prototype can be found at

    http://git.kiszka.org/?p=linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/queues/ivshmem2

Accessing the device via UIO is trivial enough. If you want to use it
for virtio, this is additionally to the description in patch 3 needed on
the virtio console backend side:

    modprobe uio_ivshmem
    echo "1af4 1110 1af4 1100 ffc003 ffffff" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_ivshmem/new_id
    linux/tools/virtio/virtio-ivshmem-console /dev/uio0

And for virtio block:

    echo "1af4 1110 1af4 1100 ffc002 ffffff" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_ivshmem/new_id
    linux/tools/virtio/virtio-ivshmem-console /dev/uio0 /path/to/disk.img

After that, you can start the QEMU frontend instance with the
virtio-ivshmem driver installed which can use the new /dev/hvc* or
/dev/vda* as usual.

Any feedback welcome!

Jan

PS: Let me know if I missed someone potentially interested in this topic
on CC - or if you would like to be dropped from the list.

PPS: The Jailhouse queues are currently out of sync /wrt minor details
of this one, primarily the device ID. Will update them when the general
direction is clear.
