Reading it again, what I wrote was a little ambiguous. Stating things
more clearly, the top level defines an 'exported resource' as a
'resource' associated with a uuid for the purpose of sharing between
different virtio devices. It leaves the definition of what constitutes
a 'resource' to individual device types. Perhaps it would be better to
use 'object' or something instead of 'resource', to avoid the
collision with virtio-gpu resources.
