      I think anyone can use a different subsystem vendor id and whql the driver. virtio-102 will make this even easier, by making the subsystem id flexible. Let's close this and re-open if someone tries to do this and runs into a problem.

      RedHat (nee Quamranet) kindly donated the PCI ID we use for virtio in the draft. Apparently Microsoft will only allow them (as ID owners) to have their windows drivers certified. If possible, we would like to find a way that any implementor can have their drivers certified.
