[ovs-discuss] Virtual-bus

[Keith Amidon]

I recently ran across this:

    http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Virtual-bus

It seems like an interesting midpoint between full hardware-based
IO virtualization with something like SR-IOV and the current
more indirect approach being used by KVM, etc.

>From a quick google search it looks like it has been through a 
couple of rounds of review on lkml, e.g.:

    http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/21/408

There have been some comments with respect to Xen as well:

Having reviewed all this it seems like it might be a bit 
premature to do anything with it, but could be something to
keep an eye on.  Anyone have any thoughts on it?
