Lguest support for Virtio 2007-10-23T05:49:56+00:00 Rusty Russell rusty@rustcorp.com.au 2007-10-22T01:24:21+00:00 19f1537b7b8a9a82665db3ad8210a9d954d13acd This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices. We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data. We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the host when it changes. We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works quite well.
