"virtio" is much more than this.
Have a look at previous commit messages for this file, something like
'9p/trans_virtio' would make a better component name.

(`git log net/9p/trans_virtio.c` to get git history for a single file)

This is not particularly useful for someone reading the git log, I'd
just remove this line.

I can do both changes on my end, but since you're learning it can also
be a good time to also see how to send a v2 (setting subject as [PATCH
v2], sending patch with in-reply-to)

I don't really mind either way, please let me know if you won't resend.
