For mergeable rxbuf related code, I think a set of common helper functions can be used by both virtio-net and virtio-vsock. For other parts, that may not be very beneficial. I will think about more. If there is a previous email discussion about this topic, could you send me some links? I did a quick web search but did not find any related info.
