Sorry, still not clear to me how it relates with the actual backend used :).

Would it work for you if we finish the notifications forwarding part
and we work on the buffer forwarding part?

I'm going to send another cleaner revision, with less dependencies on
virtio code, only notifications eventfds. I think it will be easier to
discuss the changes on top of that.

Got it.

So I'm going to assume that no device in virtio layer needs to be
aware of the change. It seems a valid assumption to me.

Yes, it may be a bad example, as vhost devices may not update it.
However I still think a lot of features (packed ring buffers
treatment, etc), performance optimizations and future fixes will have
to apply to two different codes in case we roll our own buffers
treatment.

Expanding in thread of patch 05/10, since you propose two solutions for this.

Thanks!
