FWIW. I'd like to see this as well, and can contribute/help where possible.
I
was considering a meta-ovs (Open Virtualization Solutions), but if there are
already plans afoot for a meta-virtualization, then anything I did could be
pushed down keeping any other layers small.

In particular I'm keen to drive some common kernel configuration, and work
on consolidating kernel features in trees versus having a whole set of out
of
tree modules with better tie in's to userspace enabling features
dynamically.

So I'll keep an eye out for things as well and help where possible.

Cheers,

Bruce
