This patch introduces a sample user space daemon which implements the virtio device backends on the host. The daemon creates/removes/configures virtio device backends by communicating with the Intel MIC Host Driver. The virtio devices currently supported are virtio net, virtio console and virtio block. Virtio net supports TSO/GSO. The daemon also monitors card shutdown status and takes appropriate actions like killing the virtio backends and resetting the card upon card shutdown and crashes.

+card based on the Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture
+that runs a Linux OS. It is a PCIe endpoint in a platform and therefore
+implements the three required standard address spaces i.e. configuration,
+memory and I/O. The host OS loads a device driver as is typical for
+PCIe devices. The card itself runs a bootstrap after reset that
+transfers control to the card OS downloaded from the host driver.
+The card OS as shipped by Intel is a Linux kernel with modifications
+for the X100 devices.
+
+Since it is a PCIe card, it does not have the ability to host hardware
+devices for networking, storage and console. We provide these devices
+on X100 coprocessors thus enabling a self-bootable equivalent environment
+for applications. A key benefit of our solution is that it leverages
+the standard virtio framework for network, disk and console devices,
+though in our case the virtio framework is used across a PCIe bus.
+
+Here is a block diagram of the various components described above. The
+virtio backends are situated on the host rather than the card given better
+single threaded performance for the host compared to MIC and the ability of
+the host to initiate DMA's to/from the card using the MIC DMA engine.
