My opinion is that this is a duplication of effort and we'd be better off if everyone contributed to enhancing virtio, which already has widely deployed guest drivers and non-Linux guest support.
It may have merit if it is proven that it is technically superior to virtio (and I don't mean some benchmark in some point in time; I mean design wise). So far I haven't seen any indications that it is.
