[no subject]

I am looking at the use case of the virtioSCSI driver and learning about
the SCSI specification. I want to find out whether this will be a useful
support for DragonflyBSD, and will be accepted as a project for GSoC.
Please help me here.

Since I am new to the DragonflyBSD kernel, I will take some time to clearly
understand the driver framework. My experience on Linux is going to help me
here. I want to find out the level of detail in design that is expected
from the student as a part of the project proposal.

Regards,
Supriti
