My understanding is that you want to use flow control admin commands
in virtio net, without making it depend on virtio pci.
This why the callbacks are here. Is that right?
That is fair enough, but it looks like every new command then
needs a lot of boilerplate code with a callback a wrapper and
a transport implementation.
Why not just put all this code in virtio core? It looks like the
transport just needs to expose an API to find the admin vq.
