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.

I 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
