I would imagine that virtualized device drivers would have a well-defined api and vastly simplified logic.

Shouldn't we start building hardware that have a builtin translation layer that makes them driveable by virtio drivers themselves? At least for the most capabilities?
I might be misremembering but I recall that Nvidia's BlueField DPUs use virtio when communicating with the host machine. From what I gather searching around it's virtio-net in specific
I imagine they do. But given that Linux has those simple drivers, why not use them?
