[email protected] suggested rewording abstract, making the following point: . from what point of view is virtio like a physical device? it's very different from host POV . "the guest" appears out of nowhere. It's the guest that runs in the vm of course. . "not all that different" means similar so there's not need to be verbose Address this comment Signed-off-by: Michael S.

These devices are found in virtual environments, yet by -design they are not all that different from physical devices, and this +design they look like physical devices to the guest +within the virtual machine - and this document treats them as such. This similarity allows the guest to use standard drivers and discovery mechanisms. -- MST
