I am not attending for seemingly in-person option only, nor sure
if there's a topic: it doesn't seem to have an official schedule
yet..

That being said, I think we do need a thread at least, for vSMMU
in the QEMU. The multi-vSMMU design requires to change the vSMMU
module to a pluggable one via QEMU command line, while the PCI-
vSMMU topology should be implemented in libvirt, either of which
needs some effort, where I haven't got bandwidth to spare. Given
that kernel patches are in a solid shape, I think I could start
to borrow some help. I'll draft an email to the qemu-devel list.
Folks joining the forum might be able to carry out a discussion.

Thanks
