Are you aware that Debian ships the vsock.ko and
vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko kernel modules?
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64/filelist

Do you have a URL regarding virtio-vsock in Debian and Ubuntu?  There
was no discussion upstream in QEMU or Linux that I can recall.
