+This document describes the specifications of the “virtio” family of
+devices. These devices are found in virtual environments, yet by
+design they are not all that different from physical devices, and this
+document treats them as such. This allows the guest to use standard
+drivers and discovery mechanisms.
+
+The purpose of virtio and this specification is that virtual
+environments and guests should have a straightforward, efficient,
+standard and extensible mechanism for virtual devices, rather
+than boutique per-environment or per-OS mechanisms.
