I'm afraid I really can't give you any more than what I've said already:
* Define a ring structure for the page.  (Lots of examples around the code.)
* Have Xen allocate the page.
* Have a way for your dom0 daemon to ask Xen what the mfn of the page is
* Have the daemon map the page
* Have an event channel so Xen can wake the dom0 daemon when there's
data to read

Open source projects mean coders need to be able to read and imitate
existing code, without much guidance.  We'll point you in the right
direction if we can, but you'll have to make most of the progress
yourself.
