summary

Virtio-Loopback implements a virtio HAL that lets unmodified virtio drivers talk to user-space devices so the same virtio-based apps run on VMs and bare metal; current work adds multi-device support and an adapter-side device prioritization and resource management scheduler, with five patches merged and a live Raspberry Pi demo showing concurrent VCAN and VIRTIO-SOUND devices via PipeWire. Overhead stays under ~10% from earlier measurements; next steps are an RFC to the virtio list and implementing pause/resume plus advanced scheduling.
