Hi David,

Do you mean the VMCI calls? The VMCI driver is in the process of being upstreamed into the drivers/misc tree. Greg (cc'd on these patches) is actively reviewing that code and we are addressing feedback.
Also, there was some interest from RedHat into using vSockets as a unified interface, routed over a hypervisor-specific transport (virtio or otherwise, although for now VMCI is the only one implemented).
Thanks! - Andy
