I've looked to the files and the "definitive" standard guide to the xen Hypervision,

and i'm a bit confused.

The standard way to exchange data makes a device_channel from domX to domY.

so we have a page in the shared memory.

but I've to send messages from xend to a daemon running on the same machine (dom0).

maybe i've to start step by step, how can i set up the ring?
