of virtio, so we could use the existing front-end drivers (net, block,
v9fs, console, ...).
I don't really think either is a good aproach for the lowest level
interface.  To be useful the EP driver needs to be able to implement
any (reasonable) thing a PCIe device could do.  Both NTB and virtio
can sit on top of that, though.
