Maybe start there and explain what are the issues you are
trying to address. I think there's a wide consensus in the
TC that significant features should be part of the spec
not a vendor specific thing. Existing vendor specific
capability is thus geared towards enabling minor extensions
such as bug work arounds.

Driver in the virtio terminology is taken widely to mean all software
interacting with the device through the virtio interface. Your
virtio-cli tool would be part of the driver.
