It is useful to run a X program in guest and display it on host.
1) Make host's x server listen to localhost:6000
host_shell$ socat -d -d TCP-LISTEN:6000,fork,bind=localhost \
UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/.X11-unix/X0
2) Start the guest and run X program
host_shell$ lkvm run -k /boot/bzImage
guest_shell$ xlogo
