> What do you think about virtio-nvme+vhost-nvme? What would be the advantage over virtio-blk? Multiqueue is not supported by QEMU but it's already supported by Linux (commit 6a27b656fc). To me, the advantage of nvme is that it provides more than decent performance on unmodified Windows guests, and thanks to your vendor extension can be used on Linux as well with speeds comparable to virtio-blk. So it's potentially a very good choice for a cloud provider that wants to support Windows guests (together with e.g. a fast SAS emulated controller to replace virtio-scsi, and emulated igb or ixgbe to replace virtio-net). Which features are supported by NVMe and not virtio-blk?
