I am not sure what you are saying and what is inevitable.
VDPA for sure will want live migration support. I am not at all
sympathetic to efforts that want to duplicate that support for virtio
under VFIO. Put it in a library under the virtio directory,
with a sane will documented interface.
I don't maintain VFIO and Alex can merge what he wants,
but I won't merge patches that export virtio internals in a way
that will make virtio maintainance harder.
