Virtio

There is an interest on Arm to support virtio on Xen. This would allow us to 
leverage existing PV protocols (e.g virgil 3d) and offering an easy way for 
users to migrate to Xen.

The topics expected to be discussed during the sessions are:

   - Transport to be used
   - How to prevent backend to access all the guest memory
   - Sketch a plan and potential contributors
