Hi, I am interested in contributing to FreeBSD MicroVM for GSoC 2025 and would like to focus on writing or improving a device driver. I have some experience in kernel development and have built a few drivers, but I am still learning and want to take on a task that is both impactful and aligned with my skill level. Could you provide insights on: What device drivers are currently missing or need improvement for FreeBSD MicroVM? Are there specific VirtIO drivers that would be valuable to implement or optimize (e.g., virtio-rng, virtio-blk)? Would extending an existing driver (like virtio-blk) be more useful than writing a new one? Additionally, since you are interested in co-mentoring this project, could you suggest the right people who might be interested in mentoring throughout GSoC? Your guidance would be invaluable in shaping a well-structured proposal. I would appreciate your thoughts and guidance. Regards Pranav Tyagi
