I sat down to review the patchset but looks like there's some
background I'm not aware of.

It looks like Babis has implemented the guest side here according to
the spec change that Michael has posted.

Jason, do you have an alternative in mind? In that case, we should
pick this up in the spec update thread instead.

Somehow it feels like I don't have the complete story for this feature
set, having missed the discussion during LPC.
