Well, the spec (p. 2.1) says: "The Subsystem Vendor ID should reflect

This patch adds support for the new virtio-mmio transport layer added in
3.2-rc1.
The purpose of this new layer is to allow virtio to work on systems which
don't necessarily support PCI, such as embedded systems.
To apply the patch on top of the KVM tools tree, you must first pull Linus'
tree on
