When virtiowas merged in Linux v2.6.24, its author, Rusty Russell, described the goal as being for "common drivers to be efficiently usedacross most virtual I/O mechanisms". Today, much progress has been made toward that goal, with virtiosupported by multiple hypervisors and guest drivers shipped by many operatingsystems.
