Hi Dave,

Instead, what I remember doing was deferring to the feedback these folks received, stating that ideas that the virtio people had mentioned should be considered instead. http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=135301515818462&w=2I believe Andy replied to Anthony's AF_VMCHANNEL post and the differences between the proposed solutions.I'd much rather see a hypervisor neutral solution than a hypervisor specific one which this certainly is.
We've addressed this with the latest patch series, which I sent earlier today. vSockets now has support for pluggable transports, of which VMCI happens to be the first; all transport code is separated out into its own module. So the core is now hypervisor neutral. Given that, would you be willing to re-consider it, please? If at all possible, we'd like to make the current merge window. Thanks so much! - Andy
