> INTRODUCTION
> ===============
> 1. Remove The entire first paragraph with the exveption of the first
> sentence.
> 2. Replace with - A virtual device in its truest sense is not any different
> from a physical device. The virtual machine sees a virtual device just as a
> physical machine would see a physical one. As such, this document will treat
> virtual devices as physical devices.
> 3. The purpose of ...
> 4. replace rather than using boutique to  rather than using vendor-specific,
> per-environment, or per-OS mechanisms. 
> 5. ADD -The categories described above are further defined as follows:
>   Straightforward: Revise last sentence to read - There aren’t any exotic
> page-flipping or COW mechanisms and it functions as a  normal device.[1]
> 6. Efficient: ADD to input and output (I/O),
> 7. effects from both guest and (not sure but i think you should ADD host)
> device writing to the same cache
>   lines.
> 8. Standard: CHANGE TO READ: Virtio makes no assumptions about the
> environment in which
>   it operates, beyond what is required in order to allow the bus to  attach
> the host device to the driver on the guest.  Virtio
>   devices are implemented over PCI and other buses, and earlier drafts that
>   have been implemented on other buses not included in this specification.[2]
