Some identifying features include: * No real usage of the configuration space * No device features * No control vqs * Usually one, but possibly 2 vqs used for straightforward message passing outside the virtio scope. The use case is simple: use virtio as a simple transport for protocol specific messages, this can pretty much go over any other transport exactly the same way. Would it make sense to move their actual definition out of the spec and just reserve device IDs for them there?Do we have any in the current spec? It's certainly easy to reserve IDs for things which aren't in the spec.
virtio-rng and virtio-9p are good examples of that. Maybe virtio-rpmsg too, depends on how you stretch that description above. Thanks, Sasha
