Hi,

to use the host keyboard and touchpad of my laptop while running a HVM guest
with passthroughed primary gfx-card I wrote a simple emulation.
To activate it change
gfx_passthru=1 -> gfx_passthru=1001
in the domU config file. This was done this way to have a small footprint.
Also the embedding in helper2.c is a little bit awkward.
Another problem using this way is that the VT in dom0 is not reset when the
domU gets destroyed.
I wrote this as a workaround until the announced comfortable solution from
Jean Guyader is accessible.

Thanks.
Dietmar.
