supporting VM2VM scenario
Vhostpci PMD is a new type driver working in guest OS which has ability to drive
the vhostpci modern pci device, which is a new virtio device.
The following linking is about vhostpci design:
An initial device design is presented at KVM Forum'16:

pci.pdf
The latest device design and implementation will be posted to the QEMU
community soon.
The latest version vhostpci device code has been posted to QEMU community.
[PATCH v3 0/7] Vhost-pci for inter-VM communication
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-12/msg00494.html
I didn't follow on the qemu ML. Do you know when it's likely it will
get accepted?

Hi Yuanhan,
There appear to be more people interested in this solution. My
expectation is to get the fundamental part of device finalized in 3 months.
For the pmd patches, I think it would be great if people can start the
review from the non-device related part (e.g. the data transmission logic).
Best,
Wei
