Sure, the vector IO is nice for netdevs :-) But I'm looking to add some other peripherals, some of which I won't upstream the drivers for because it makes no sense if you don't have the device implementation, so vhost-user made a lot of sense here, since I can use a common mechanism for all of the stuff I want to do, and virtio_console is probably one of the things - and already exists. johannes _______________________________________________ linux-um mailing list linux-um@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-um
