Hi,

some super high level questions:

Could you provide a link directly to the backend, please?

> The device ID request:
>         https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/85

Shall we wait for this to be approved? Or will it get only approved once
the driver here is upstream?

That means stuff like "limiting which devices on a given bus can be
accessed" will be handled by the backends, or?

What kind of testing has been done with this on which setup?

Thanks and happy hacking,
