I always thought the "frontend" was the device the guest saw (the 16650 UART or whatever). invocation.html has bits talking about "virtio hvc console frontend device" which seem like they also use that terminology. If we want to clean up the naming it might be helpful to have a comment somewhere documenting the different components and what names we give them and how they fit together (or even better, something in docs/devel/...) thanks -- PMM
