virtio: simplify config mechanism. ... Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended at the end. The main driver-visible changes: 1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit. 2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

Virtio console driver ... This is an hvc-based virtio console driver. It's suboptimal becuase hvc expects to have raw access to interrupts and virtio doesn't assume that, so it currently polls. There are two solutions: expose hvc's "kick" interface, or wean off hvc. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Rusty Russell   commited 2007-10-23 15:49:55 +10:00	31610434bc
