It's not orthogonal.  virtio is one set of ABI+guest drivers+host 
support to get networking on kvm guests.  AlacrityVM's vbus-based 
drivers are another set of ABI+guest drivers+host support to get 
networking on kvm guests.  That makes them competitors (two different 
ways to do one thing), not orthogonal.
