It's called "V4V". The source is on the XenClient source iso available from 
citrix.com. Last I saw, the patches needed a little polish before being 
suitable for acceptance upstream, but were pretty close. There are xen patches, 
linux kernel patches, and user space libraries providing a socket-like API (for 
linux and windows).
