you
wouldn't get any Network Signalling engineers implementing the 3GPP stack
to buy into that.
Another issue is that our modem also support other interface technologies
such as USB and HSI. It simply doesn't make sense to enforce virtio rings
internally if virtio isn't otherwise used on the modem.
Without host side rings we simply wouldn't be able to implement zero-copy
in the RX direction for the STE-modem.
