Domain listing, basic information retrieval and domain life cycle management is implemented. But currently the domian XML output lacks the complete devices section.
The driver uses OpenWSMAN to directly communicate with an Hyper-V server over its WS-Management interface exposed via Microsoft WinRM.
Just like the ESX driver this driver includes a generator that generates the type definitions for the Hyper-V API that are feed to OpenWSMAN.
Currently there are some sections in the code that are disabled because of bugs in OpenWSMAN <= 2.2.6. Patches for those problems have been posted upstream.
The driver is based on the work of Michael Sievers. This started in the same master program project group at the University of Paderborn as the ESX driver.
See Michael's blog for details: http://hyperv4libvirt.wordpress.com/
