It may have some difficult because pci memory map requirement.I think that some fields are shared between the vdev and epf device. However, we need to implement device emulation because each virtio device has its specific set of tasks. For example, the virtio-net device has a control queue, and the driver can request MAC filters, VLANs, and other settings via this queue. These requests have to be processed by the virtio device that we are implementing in pci-epf-vnet. The simplest virtio-console device doesn?t have these tasks, but the other virtio devices requireprocessing them. That's why the current pci-epf-virtio design requires a specific implementation for each virtio device. Is this what you meant?> >>> Previous you use virtio-net, why change to virtio-console here?
