[illumos-Developer] [review] 1147 Integrate the virtio-block driver

Are there any design notes on this stuff anywhere?  (i.e. NetBSD?)
I'm a little surprised to see so much dma_sync stuff in vioblk.c.
Can more of that be handled in the common virtio code?
How similar is this to the NetBSD code?  What parts are new?

Thanks,
Gordon
