Hello,

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenBusDriver?highlight=%28xenbus%29 says that "XenBus provides a bus abstraction for paravirtualized drivers to communicate between domains. In practice, the bus is used for configuration negotiation, leaving most data transfer to be done via page flipping."

What is the equivalent mechanism for fully-virtualized drivers in Xen (HVM running on VT-capable machine)?
