There is no such thing as the "hypervisor" as a separate entity in
lguest, at least not as I understand it (semantic issues may rise!
;-))

That's because a lot of the tasks are done by the host itself.
See things in drivers/lguest/core.c, for an example. All of this, are
in the host. interrupt management, userspace communication,
everything.

The closest thing you'll get to a hypervisor here is the switcher. But
there's not too many things happening here regarding what you'd want.
