Integrating with glib by itself is pointless. What is the *benefit*? We have a pretty good idea of how to make multithreaded device models using AioContext, since we are using it for the block layer and virtio-blk dataplane. Doing the same work twice, on two different frameworks, doesn't seem like a very good idea. Paolo
