virtio-accel-proto

Pointer-free, little-endian wire structures for the portable virtio-accel protocol 1.0 candidate. Decoding untrusted bytes never constructs an invalid Rust enum: unknown opcodes, statuses, flags, and event states stay raw integers until they are validated.

Part of the virtio-accel workspace: an experimental, native-Rust foundation for a transport-neutral virtual accelerator device. The workspace contains no Linux ioctls, macOS frameworks, Windows APIs, guest physical addresses, vendor command formats, or claimed virtio device ID.

Portability tier: core-only — core only; no alloc, no operating system, no host synchronization.

The protocol 1.0 numeric opcodes, statuses, and payload layouts are versioned review inputs for independent implementation, frozen for the portable v1.0 baseline by the final freeze audit. This remains pre-standardization work and claims no Virtio device ID.
