Topic Introduction:
Virtual Device standardization, a.k.a. Automotive Virtual Platform definition

Common I/O devices for hypervisor guests with standardized features and interface, such that device drivers (and thereby systems) are more portable.

...

• Device drivers (for paravirtualization) for the (Linux*) kernel don't need to be maintained uniquely for different hypervisors
• Ability to move hypervisor guests between different hypervisor environments
• Some potential for shared device driver implementation across hypervisors

*virtio supported by BSD, Windows, Fuchsia, and others

Extending this: Standardizing a contract/standard between guest and hypervisor.  Compare the OCI initiatives for containers.  Container runtimes → can we have standardized "hypervisor runtime environment" that allows a standards compliant virtual (guest) machine to run.

...

Compare: Linux Device Tree – ability to discover and configure devices.
