I know. But, coLinux was burn long time before lguest was started, and
coLinux currently use kernel hacks to operate in similar ways as
hypercall of lguest does it.

It's time now, to joining into same code base. That's better, as working
on two separate code bases what does similar the same:
Paravirtualisation a Linux kernel.
