I think "vmmdev" may be the term you're looking for here. VBoxGuest
seems to refer to the driver for it.

s/layer/manager/, but yes. As far as I can tell it's just an
abstraction layer over stuffing things into vmmdev's address space in
the right order.

There is also a ring 3 VBoxGuestLib that communicates to the kernel
side via ioctls on /dev/vboxguest (or your OS's equivalent).

This is where most of my work was - for the lower-level stuff you'll
have to ask François or one of the official VirtualBox developers.
