I don't exactly get why we need to split the modern driver out,
and it can confuse people who are used to be seeing virtio-pci.


The virtio-pci module still there. No user visible changes. Just some codes that could be shared with other driver were split out.



The vdpa thing so far looks like a development tool, why do
we care that it depends on a bit of extra code?


If I'm not misunderstanding, trying to share codes is proposed by you here:

We also had the plan to convert IFCVF to use this library.

Thanks
