Hi all,
This patch series attempts to come closer to unifying kvm and lguest's
usage of virtio. As these two are the first implementations we've seen,
I hope making them closer will make future ones closer too.
Drivers now unpack their own configuration: their probe() methods are
uniform. The configuration mechanism is extensible and can be backed by
PCI, a string of bytes, or something else.
I've abstracted out the lguest ring buffer code into a common library.
The format has changed slightly (mainly because I had an epiphany about
inter-guest I/O).
I also implemented a console (lguest needs one).
Finally, there is a working lguest implementation. Unfortunately,
lguest is being refactored for non-i386 ports, so the virtio patches sit
at the end of the (quite long) for-2.6.24 patchqueue. Nonetheless, they
can be found at http://lguest.ozlabs.org/patches (click on bz2 to get
the series).
Cheers!
Rusty.
