from my understanding it should be possible to provide an absolute minimalistic guest agent functionality by writing a 5-liner that fills some basic info into the virto serial device within the guest VM. At least from what I can read in the source at github or the docs:

So I reduced my requirements and searched a way to populate the columns IP and hostname in OVirt. This should be not more than doing an "echo ..." into the serial port.
