Excellent, thanks Jeff!
Am I right in thinking that similar code could be used to forward any
character device?

Unrelated question, is skas0 going to work on x86_64 as host or/and as
guest: I mean will I be able to run a x86 kernel on x86_64 with skas? -
there seems to be a few patches that mention this arch, is there any
combination that compile (for a 64bit guest) ?
Also, is skas0 as secure as skas3? Can't the guest use the 2 pages above
its stack to get access to the host's syscalls?

Thanks
Antoine
