Are there news regarding this ?

There is work done on virtio-msg [1], which looks fairly similar to
virtio-argo (or at least, virtio-msg could work with Argo in a similar
fashion to what's described on the virtio-argo design).

I think this should be dropped. We don't need a link to a design document without an implementation. You can add it once you've upstreamed the implementation.

Is it regarding disabling the argo on a per-guest basis, or regarding if
a specific VM can communicate with another VM ? i.e can the toolstack
decide to prevent 2 guest from communicating ?

IIRC, in Argo, a guest on his own can decide who can communicate with
him using separate registered rings. But I am not sure if there is more
on that regard.

Yes, I think the existing text needs to be rephrased to be more explicit on the issue. I can guess what it is, but I shouldn't have to. I'd recommend stating the issue as it exists, and then optionally clearly state a proposed solution.

Regards,
Jason
