The first three patches are virtio(-ccw) only and the those are the ones
that I think are ready to go.
I'm not feeling comfortable going forward with the remainder as it
stands now; waiting for some other folks to give feedback. (They are
touching/interacting with code parts I'm not so familiar with, and lack
of documentation, while not the developers' fault, does not make it
easier.)
