ah... put I meant something different:
have a generic host <->guest plugin/plex86 part register a specific
plex86 port.
next plugins can request a host <-> guest callback by means of a
specific ID.
the packet which address was written to the plex86 port contains
information about a specific ID & other data. now the plugin/plex86 part
looks in a ID table for a callback and calls the plugins function.
this way we have a one port entry point for the plex86 host <-> guest
packet communication instead of having to register specific ports for
every plugin.
(but if you'd rather have the last option, I don't mind....)
