Congratuations on figuring out the protocol! I did a quick test, after manually unwrapping the patch, and it seems to work perfectly, although my test was not very exhaustive. Great job. I remember I was also surprised at the fact that the interrupt endpoint was a dummy and that the endpoint zero was abused in this way when I looked at the qemu logs a long time ago.
