I don't think that's anything special about hypervisors though -- pretty much all modern device interfaces are basically DMA rings, aren't they? I'm definitely in favor of common code to handle commonality but on the other hand I don't see what's so special about virtual devices vs. real HW devices. One the one side we have VMware's closed hypervisor code and on the other side we have vendor XYZ's closed RTL and firmware code. - R. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
