Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 23:31:43 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <13426df10711072331w6dd252a8jf65a5c8ac1320d08@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

"I dislike strings. They make it look as if you have a nice extensible
interface, where in reality you have a poorly documented interface which
leads to poor interoperability."
So, the decision in the linux virtualization world is to make all
paravirtual devices look like ... drum roll ... PCI devices. Since, of
course, PCI device is the Universal device.
My brain hurts.
