while in stockholm last week, i was talking to linus i think, or maybe
it was leif, about this.  the way i thought of it was

  o there is a brutal blue/green api along the lines of which we spoke
    some weeks back, a fifo implemented as a ring buffer, with elements
    being tlvs.  this would be in shared memory in some way.

  o for test setups, we would 'tunnel' with some sort of shim adapters.
    the blue and green would each be dealing with the same code, but
    each would be talking to an emulator which tunneled the abstraction
    to the distant partner's end where it would re-simulate that end of
    the api.

too many words.  sorry.
