This is a hack and only serves as an example of what needs to be
done to make the next RFC - add vfio-platform support - work
for development purposes on a Calxeda Midway system. We don't want
mach-virt to always create this ethernet device - DO NOT APPLY, etc.
Initial attempts to convince QEMU to create a memory mapped device
on the command line (e.g., -device vfio-platform,name=fff51000.ethernet)
would fail with "Parameter 'driver' expects pluggable device type".
Alistair is working on this. cc.
Alaistair, I've had patches tackle this on the mailing list a few months
ago and received good comments from Anthony on what to change. How far
in are you already? I'd like to make sure we're on the same page here
(and don't duplicate work).
