I'm not too familiar with that code either, though I have a basic 
understanding of what it is doing of course.  I wonder though whether 
you could give us a bit of a clue as to where you are trying to go. 
 From the messages you have send I presume you are most interested in 
the Windows guest code, and you don't really need a detailed 
understanding of the core virtualisation code for that - understanding 
the concepts around it would be more important in that case - but it 
would still take you a lot of time to work through it which you might 
prefer to spend on the code which really interests you.  I can still ask 
one of our core virtualisation team members to give you a pointer of 
course in case I am wrong there.

Regards,

Michael
