OK but the only spec which currently exists also says it's a legacy only device, so driver must not set VERSION_1.

I think it's going to have significantly different semantics, too, so not much value in making that one work with current drivers, right? -- MST _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
