abstract: address lnovich comment
lnovich@redhat.com suggested rewording abstract, making the following point: . from what point of view is virtio like a physical device? it's very different from host POV . "the guest" appears out of nowhere. It's the guest that runs in the vm of course. . "not all that different" means similar so there's not need to be verbose Address this comment Signed-off-by: Michael S.

This document describes the specifications of the “virtio” family of
devices. These devices are found in virtual environments, yet by
-design they are not all that different from physical devices, and this
+design they look like physical devices to the guest
+within the virtual machine - and this
document treats them as such. This similarity allows the guest to use standard
drivers and discovery mechanisms.
