Actually this one sounds a lot like SGI's XPMEM. Not sure if it would make sense to try and use that infrastructure for that, but it might be a good starting point Cheers, Jes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe kvm in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: Ideas wiki for GSoC 2010
IMO one of the biggest parts of infrastructure QEMU is missing for embedded stuff is a common (qdev) way of modeling DMA backchannels. Or devide to device channels or whatever you want to call it. Would be nice if someone could bring this to qemu.

Cam's shared memory device. That's plain shared memory among guests (though the host could also participate). transport evokes something like virtio rings. I could mentor it, though I prefer something in kvm, and it looks close to completion. I agree. Take it off the list then :-). Fair enough. I'd be willing to take up one of the other suggestions.
