That's good.

So if virtio is fixed to be as fast as vbus, and if there's no other
techical advantages of vbus over virtio you'll be glad to drop vbus
and stand behind virtio?

Also, are you willing to help virtio to become faster? Or do you
have arguments why that is impossible to do so and why the only
possible solution is vbus? Avi says no such arguments were offered
so far.
