Sorry but I've tried to explain twice that this approach is not the way to go. The hardware does not necessarily know how to translate any virtual address by itself and QEMU doesn't either, guest assistance may be required. It's not as simple as handing a (kernel or userspace?) virtual address to a custom device and having it perform a memcpy. If you really want to do a custom hack try adding a custom memcpy instruction and look at how x86 targets rep; mov or other instances of memory copy on other architectures are done. You'll need to write a custom memcpy implementation in the guest to make use of this function. Stefan
