There are some other problems with usb too: It's not transparent to

a system-only thing and should also remain that way.

I think virtio-serial is the better way to handle vmchannel. Unlike usb virtio is designed to work nicely in a virtual environment.

But vmchannel-over-usbserial should be easy too though in case some guests lacks virtio backports or something.

I think you're missing my fundamental point. Don't use the kernel as the guest interface.

Introduce a userspace daemon that exposes a domain socket. Then we can have a proper protocol that uses reverse fqdns for identification.

We can do the backend over TCP/IP, usb, standard serial, etc.
