1. A chardrv implementation that is introduced into the qemu-char.c code. This new type of chardrv can sit below other monitors and consoles and route traffic over V4V.
2. A proxy process called qmp_helper runs in dom0 and can talk to the V4V chardrv in QEMU in the stubdom. The qmp_helper also creates a UNIX socket exactly as QEMU would have above in dom0. The toolstack (xl) can then connect directly to the UNIX socket and the rest is invisible to it.

The qmp_helper must be started with the stub-domain ID where the QEMU it wants to talk to lives. There is an instance of qmp_helper per stub-domain. The QEMU instance in the stub-domain must be started with this version of the QMP parameter:

-qmp v4v

The QMP helper also needs changes to SELinux and the V4V firewall before it will work properly. If those changes are not yet implemented, QMP helper can still be tested by putting SELinux in permissive mode and flushing all the V4V firewall rules:
