These devices are found in virtual environments, yet by +design they are not all that different from physical devices, and this +document treats them as such. This allows the guest to use standard +drivers and discovery mechanisms. + +The purpose of virtio and this specification is that virtual +environments and guests should have a straightforward, efficient, +standard and extensible mechanism for virtual devices, rather +than boutique per-environment or per-OS mechanisms. |
