This is a subject that came up in the virtio BOF session at OLS. I decided to go forward and implement something that I like, based on the latest virtio proposal at the time, which was draft III. It's not a drop-in replacement, because it's missing a host implementation. I first started my own, which is not done yet, but wanted to do one for lguest and one for emulated PCI next. It's

Hi again all, It turns out that networking really wants ordered requests, which the previous patches didn't allow. This patch changes it to a callback mechanism; kudos to Avi. The downside is that locking is more complicated, and after a few dead ends I implemented the simplest solution: the struct virtio_device contains the spinlock to use, and it's held when your callbacks get
