It's a feature for the cloud infra provider. It's an antifeature for
everyone else. There is value in providing more features infra-side. There
is no value in restricting functionnalities vm-side to favor the infra.
The 'everything is a dumb system' vm view is nice on slideware but it does
not describe reality (let alone because some complex network scenarii are
the result of app needs, and there is zero value in shorting the system
layer to make apps talk to the hypervisor directly. If only because the
system layer is also an access control layer).
