Didn't see support for dma.
Not sure what you're expecting there. Using dma_ops in virtio_ring?
I think that with Amit's pvdma patches you
can support dma-capable devices as well without too much fuss.
What is the use case you're thinking of? A semi-paravirt driver that
does dma directly to a device?

You would also lose performance since pv-dma will trigger an exit for
each virtio io while
virtio kicks the hypervisor after several IOs were queued.
