Since in parallel there is a discussion about the virtio-gpio
interface, how will this work with it?
Haven't really understood what this is actually doing. A multiplexer
where only external line is connected to some actual gpio at a time ?
Or does it merge multiple inputs into one (eg. logical OR) ?

Is that about real hardware mux chips or just a software only ?

What is the actual use case ?

For now, I don't see any relation to virtio-gpio. Correct me if I'm
wrong.
