Just to make sure I'm in the correct direction - I need to cause these 
offloads to be advertised by the "lower" part of virtio (e.g the qemu 
virtio code) to  the "upper" part (the quest kernel), correct? I 
understand that one of them is called front-end and the other back-end, 
but my intuitions don't go up to saying who's what...

Or.
