Implement virtio drivers on DragonFly to speedup DragonFly as a KVM guest

[Tim Bisson]

Hi Supriti,

At this point we have a port of the virtio drivers from FreeBSD (net/block/balloon) that are close to ready for inclusion.

However, QEMU recently released support for virtioSCSI. You might want to explore that as a potential project.

As this project was part of GSoC 2011 , I would like to know what work has been already been done for implementation of driver for network and what is expected now?
