I've split it into three parts: a) A general definition of the idea b) A definition on virtio-pci using the layout previously discussed; this still uses the list of capabilities. c) A definition on virtio-mmio; this is untested however I thought best to include it since it shows that it isn't tied to PCI. This v2 addresses (hopefully all) comments from the initial posting, except for CCW and the GPU/dynamic usage currently being discussed by Frank. Cornelia has a suggested approach for CCW that is being discussed, so it looks like we're getting there on that. The GPU usage being discussed by Frank is diverging to a very different usage.
