Me too, after all, I suggested it. And I always wanted an excuse to
write a linux device driver... :)

But my problem is that lots of the guest VMs I'm doing this for in
the first place are Windows, so as much as I'd like to ignore them,
they just won't go away...

Which is why I've decided to prioritize the host-side bits, and give
myself time to think about how I'm going to optimize happiness for
all parties involved on the guest side of things :)

I wonder if it's a known bug or a shiny new one :) I could try to
maybe write a simplified test to demonstrate it, and then file it
somewhere...
