Xen devel - Mar 2008 - Is there anyway to let two hvm Domain share memory?

Hi, everybody:
Currently I am thinking on that is there any way to let two different hvm
guest domain share the same memory in Xen? If we can do this, It will be a
great improve to inter-domain communication on the same physical machine.
If you have any suggestions, Please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

It''s possible for an HVM domain to create sharing grants (e.g. to share
with
dom0) but last I heard the grant table mapping hypercalls were not allowed 
for HVM guests so they won''t be able to directly map each
other''s granted
memory :-(

Cheers,
Mark
