Subject: Re: [Question]About KVM network zero-copy  feature!

Hi, Michael

IIt will be usefull if we can implement rx zero-copy, could you give
 me some help if you know some technical details or some
references on the internet?

I am wondering may be I can take a deep look on it first then decide
if I can take it over or not.

Thanks a lot.
