Re: [PATCH 0/3] virtio-net: inline header support

-In particular, no implementation should use the descriptor
-boundaries to determine the size of any header in a request.[footnote:
-The current qemu device implementations mistakenly insist that
-the first descriptor cover the header in these cases exactly, so
-a cautious driver should arrange it so.
+[footnote:
+It was previously asserted that framing should be independent of
+message contents, yet invariably drivers layed out messages in
+reliable ways and devices assumed it. In addition, the
+specifications for virtio_blk and virtio_scsi require intuiting
+field lengths from frame boundaries.
