lguest64 needs some guest -> process channel for new virtual cpu creation.
Right now, I'm simpling returning a value at run_guest().

I woulnd not worry to much about acknowledges here. Assuming that
something we sent out is received seems a sane assumption. Unless you
are worried about older launchers, etc, but hey, this is lguest. No
ABI. Just assume you're using the correct launcher. Or are you talking
about a completely different issue?
