If I can find a way to do this in such a way that KVM upstream finds acceptable, I would be very happy and will work towards whatever that compromise might be.   OTOH, if the KVM community is set against the concept of a generalized/shared backend, and thus wants to use some other approach that does not involve vbus, that is fine too.  Choice is one of the great assets of open source, eh?   :)

KVM upstream (me) doesn't have much say regarding vbus.  I am not a 
networking expert and I'm not the virtio or networking stack maintainer, 
so I'm not qualified to accept or reject the code.  What I am able to do 
is make sure that kvm can efficiently work with any driver/device stack; 
this is why ioeventfd/irqfd were merged.

I still think vbus is a duplication of effort; I understand vbus has 
larger scope than virtio, but I still think these problems could have 
been solved within the existing virtio stack.
