See:

They'd still need to implement the rumphyper/Mini-OS backend to get etfs to
talk over vchan to the dom0, right?

Strictly speaking, they'd have to implement the iov{read,write} hypercalls to do that. But, no, etfs doesn't do magic. IOW, they'd have to define what "host path" means.

It occurred to me that I wrote that manpage, umm, 5 years ago when rump kernels ran only in userspace and "host path" was a better defined term. Pile that manpage on the neverending heap of documentation which broke while the code kept working.
