Hi,

I am trying to set up a shared memory/event-channels between dom0 and domU's
via socket calls. I do not want to use existing front-end/back-end driver
mechanism as it relies on devices aka vif, vbd type of device to be created
and uses xenbus/xenstored for communication between domains. Adding support
for new device similar to vif/vbd may require xapi toolstack changes as well
which I would like to avoid. Instead

1. write own socket library calls aka bind/connect and use them to setup
shared memory and event channels between domains. I will have client and
server side of application, server side running on dom0 and client side on
domU's.

or

2. write a kernel module(aka driver) and create devices under
/dev/<some_device_name> in both dom0 and domU's and use these device to
setup shared mem/evt_chnl.

 I haven't sketched out details yet, but thought of checking if this would
be feasible.

Thanks
-Ravi
