Also, wow, I just followed and read the link:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2013-07/msg00044.html

I know this is old code and stuff, but writing the data to the swap
partition sounds very Rube Goldberg.  Now that virtio-serial exists,
it's easy to set up arbitrary private guest-host communication channels
without involving networking/TCP.

Were OBS to use mock in a VM I'd expect it to basically do:

tar cf /dev/virtio-ports/org.fedoraproject.mock /var/lib/mock/result

and then the host could read that tar file.
