Initial Evaluation of a User-Level Device Driver Framework
Device drivers are a significant source of system instability. In this paper, we make the case for running device drivers at user-level to improve robustness and resource managemen...

TwinDrivers: semi-automatic derivation of fast and safe hypervisor network drivers from guest OS drivers
In a virtualized environment, device drivers are often run inside a virtual machine (VM) rather than in the hypervisor, for reasons of safety and reduction in software engineering...
