git context replace master with main github has special case logic to make this easier: https://github.com/github/renaming
remoteproc context: "slave" should be "remote processor" "master" should be "remoteproc host"
virto context: virtio spec uses "device" and "driver" suggest we use "virtio device" and "virtio driver" Examples of devices: vitioblk device virtio network interface For today's remoteproc rpmsg, LInux is always the driver side
Some virtio "devices" are not very device like and instead are more like services. Alternative for such cases "application service" and "application client" Examples: vsock: service is the one that creates the socket
vsock: service is the one that calls accept on the socket
p9fs: service is the side that has the filesystem Note that a remote processor can host a service and be a client at the same time. The terminology is per service.
