If we allow multiple host side transports, virtio host side support and

That sounds good to me.

This means af_vsock.c needs to be aware of CID allocation.  Currently the
vhost_vsock.ko driver handles this itself (it keeps a list of CIDs and
checks that they are not used twice).  It should be possible to move
that state into af_vsock.c so we have <cid, host_transport> pairs.

I'm currently working on NFS over AF_VSOCK and sock_diag support (for
ss(8) and netstat-like tools).

Multi-transport support is lower priority for me at the moment.  I'm
happy to review patches though.  If there is no progress on this by the
end of the year then I will have time to work on it.

Are either of you are in Prague, Czech Republic on October 25-27 for
Linux Kernel Summit, Open Source Summit Europe, Embedded Linux
Conference Europe, KVM Forum, or MesosCon Europe?
