Support an inter-vm shared memory device that maps a shared-memory object as a PCI device in the guest. This patch also supports interrupts between guest by communicating over a unix domain socket. This patch applies to the qemu-kvm repository.No. All new devices should be fully qdev based. I suspect you've also ignored a load of coherency issues, especially when not using KVM. As soon as you have shared memory in more than one host thread/process you have to worry about memory barriers.
Shouldn't it be sufficient to require the guest to issue barriers (and to ensure tcg honours the barriers, if someone wants this with tcg)?.
