Yes, that's what I figured.

But, I haven't really been able to figure out how to actually implement
a new event channel.

I did create a new Virtual interrupt and registered it on the 
DomU side.
I was able to bind to it on the Xen side.
However, the
vcpu_info->evtchn_upcall_pending variable doesn't seem
to get set correctly.
I have v->vcpu_info->evtchn_upcall_mask = 0.

Plus, I'm not quite sure how to do the polling on the DomU side.

If you have a good idea as to how to implement it,
please do let me know.

And isn't this EXACTLY what the event-channel does?
