Interesting reading..

This is the equivalent of a combination of a number of bits of
work done by Marko, Kip, ALC, jhb, and many others.. we aren't
too far behind here..

Marko has virtual images with cpus assigned to them (or, at least he
has work in that direction, and Kip has work on NICs with multiple
receive/xmit rings etc. ALC has work on virtualised interfaces with
hardware support. Jhb and others are doing multiple MSI interrupts and
network polling...


Interesting times..
