There are 3 issues related to virtio / vhost not
triaged during the last 3 weeks:

virtio:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/248
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/270

vhost:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/277

Would it help your workflow if we add VirtIO and vhost
labels on GitLab?

Regards,

Phil.
