In Linux a 'VM' and virtualization has always been a normal system
process that uses a few extra kernel features. This has been more or
less the cornerstone of that design since the start.
In that view it doesn't make any sense to say that uAPI from idxd that
is useful for virtualization somehow doesn't belong as part of the
standard uAPI.
Especially when it is such a small detail like what APIs are used to
configure the wq.
For instance, what about suspend/resume of containers using idxd?
Wouldn't you want to have the same basic approach of controlling the
wq from userspace that virtualization uses?
