The interface we propose we
believe is more powerful, and more conducive to performance

specifically, a single binary image that is properly virtualizable on
multiple hypervisors and capable of running on native hardware.
that is mostly an advantage in the binary would though.. less so in the
open source world.
It is an advantage for everyone. It cuts support and certification
costs for Linux distributors, software vendors, makes debugging and
development easier, and gives hypervisors room to grow while maintaining
binary compatibility with already released kernels.
