Hi Cornelia, Thanks for the review. This is my first approach to virtio and I had to make some assumptions myself from reading the code and the spec, so I expected lots of corrections.

Do you mean this? https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/ Or should I link the source repo instead? https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec > Chapter 5 ("Device Types") in the virtio specification [1] > > (and add the same reference as above in this file)?
