The hope is that the Xen-specific elements of the driver will be
restricted to Xen-specific things like grant tables, and the bulk of the
driver and its logic can be common. Whether that can be achieved and
still retain the full performance/features of the entirely Xen-specific
netfront driver remains to be seen. I haven't had a chance to look at
doing any Xen-virtio glue yet, so I'm not really sure how it will work out.
