I also noticed that there are a lot of crates on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://crates.io/" class="">crates.io</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>that over FFI bindings and are named with the "-bindings" suffix. Because you cannot rename crates on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://crates.io/" class="">crates.io</a>, I was thinking about creating a new crate with the same content, name it kvm-bindings and mark the kvm_wrapper as an obsolete crate. We can keep the kvm_wrapper repository around and at some point re-purpose it to be a wrapper over KVM ioctls (similar to the kvm crate from crosvm/firecracker, but a bit more generic maybe?). <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;">Feedback would be greatly appreciated!</div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;"><br class="">Thanks,</div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;">Andreea</div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;">[1]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/vai_rust_vmm/" class="">https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/vai_rust_vmm/</a><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;">[2]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://github.com/rust-vmm/community" title="Ctrl+Click or tap to follow the link" class="">https://github.com/rust-vmm/community</a></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;">[3]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://github.com/rust-vmm/kvm_wrapper" class="">https://github.com/rust-vmm/kvm_wrapper</a><br class=""></div><p class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;"></p><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;"><br class="">Amazon Development Center (Romania) S.R.L. registered office: 27A Sf.
