Hi, Zoltan. I unfortunatelly can't answer your questions, but I do agree that some writings on QEMU internals would be super-helpful. The problem is that, as we all know, documentation often gets forgotten in our hectic pace of development, even if it is planned to be written. It could be that a problem is there is no a single person (at least I don't know him/her) who would actively take care of the internal docs as a whole, and, let's say, constantly ping other developers to improve or update their bits and pieces. Good that you brought this to our attention! Aleksandar
