We are working on a TCG implementation of virtio-vsock (http://qemu-project.org/Features/VirtioVsock) which we think should be a suitable drop-in replacement for the Android pipe. We have yet to measure performance differences between the two, especially in the context of 3D graphics, though. But I wonder if that should really block this from being merged? The support may not be in QEMU but it's in the Android emulator and it would be a less broken implementation with these patches in the kernel than without, I think. -Christoffer -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
