Provides the ability for the guest to communicate with user-provided code inside

We already have two "backdoors" in QEMU: ivshmem and virtio-serial. Can you
discuss why these are insufficient for your purposes?
Also, what's the advantage of having a backdoor mechanism both for softmmu and
user? I can't think of a practical use-case for it.
