It's not orthogonal. virtio is one set of ABI+guest drivers+host
support to get networking on kvm guests. AlacrityVM's vbus-based
drivers are another set of ABI+guest drivers+host support to get
networking on kvm guests. That makes them competitors (two different
ways to do one thing), not orthogonal.
