Heh...not to belabor the point to death, but virtio is orthogonal (you keep forgetting that ;).

Its really the vbus device-model vs the qemu device-model (and possibly vs the "in-kernel pci emulation" model that I believe Michael is working on).

You can run virtio on any of those three.

It's not orthogonal. virtio is one set of ABI+guest drivers+host support to get networking on kvm guests. AlacrityVM's vbus-based drivers are another set of ABI+guest drivers+host support to get networking on kvm guests. That makes them competitors (two different ways to do one thing), not orthogonal.
