Yes, I have this in my mind :), but I want to understand better if we can
use virtio-net also for this mechanism.
For now, I don't think limiting the packets to 64 KiB is a big issue.

What do you think if I postpone this when I have more clear if we can
use virtio-net or not? (in order to avoid duplicated work)
