IIRC Anthony wanted a brand new virtio device and no ties to ACPI or x86.
Objections included (I think) that writing to a virtio device when
panicked is more risky than an outb().
Feel free to re-read the thread at
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/229289>...
However, please remember Ronen's email -- I'm attaching it.
Thanks

Hi,
Regardless of the "technical" issues, RH is trying to maintain its ownership over the virtio
devices (we own the PCI IDs) that enables us to be the only people that can WHQL them.
The whole thing is vague. Please do not discuss it in public (better not at all).
Personally speaking, I believe that the very few (if at all) users of PVPanic, will tolerate a
change in the design, and Anthony does have some valid points.
Ronen.
