It's not a thing it's Zhu Lingshan :) intel is just one of the vendors
that implemented vdpa support and so Zhu Lingshan from intel is working
on vdpa and has also proposed virtio spec extensions for migration.
intel's driver is called ifcvf. vdpa composes all this stuff that is
added to vfio in userspace, so it's a different approach.
