Keith, please stop such invalid argument! It is non sense.

We need to understand the benefits of diverging from virtio since here 
it is about creating new device models for Qemu while bypassing qemu 
using ivshmem. I do not care whether it is memnic, AVP, xyz. But I do 
care about Qemu's and virtio's performances along with avoiding to get 
too many NIC models while 1 model can be used to have uniform IOs.
