Have you looked at the virtio specification? This describes the overall structure and communication mechanism, which QEMU and Linux each only implement one half of: http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/virtio-v1.0.html Hopefully it will provide the higher level overview that you are looking for. Many of the data structures and their purposes are also directly required and described by the spec. thanks -- PMM
