The goal here is to make the GVT code independent of the hypervisor backend. Different hypervisor backends need to keep different per-device state, so using the KVM type here defeats the purpose. I assume this is not only useful for us, but also for other hypervisor backends, such as Xen or 3rd-party hypervisors.
