We synced the XCI dom patchqueue and you can find the v2v code there.
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb?p=xenclient/linux-2.6.27-pq.git;a=blob_plain;f=master/v2v-core;h=4378276c2d2dde17a9bcb950bf17c4f7dcfff66e;hb=HEAD
We have a code to create a socket AF_XEN but right now it's not
connected to v2v, it should be done very soon.
