No problem.  For shared memory, if you use a regular dataport connector,
there should be a way to register it as a device with a physical address.
Then in Linux you could access the address using the /dev/mem file. As for
signalling between components and the vm, I am not sure if there is already
functions for this or not, but you may be able to inject notifications from
other components into the vm guest via the vgic. And use hypercalls to go
in the opposite direction. RPC is a bit more difficult because performing
rpc from the VM outwards usually ends up with "stalling" the cpu while
waiting for a response. But you can implement almost equivalent
functionality by using shared memory and signalling.
