I don't think anyone objects to the high level ideas, but
implementation does matter. I don't think anyone presented "hey we
will tunnel an uAPI through VFIO to the IOMMU subsystem" - did they?

Look at the fairly simple IMS situation, for example. This was
presented at plumbers too, and the slides were great - but the
implementation was too hacky. It required a major rework of the x86
interrupt handling before it was OK.
