So if I whip up a virtio-net backend for vbus with a PCI compliant

This doesn't improve virtio-net in any way.
Any why not? (Did you notice I said "PCI compliant", i.e. over virtio-pci)

Because virtio-net will have gained nothing that it didn't have before.




virtio already supports this model; see lguest and s390. Transporting
virtio over vbus and vbus over something else doesn't gain anything over
directly transporting virtio over that something else.
This is not what I am advocating.


What are you advocating? As far as I can tell your virtio-vbus connector plus the vbus-kvm connector is just that.
