      virtual: Documentation: simplify and generalize paravirt_ops.txt · a2e19991
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      The general documentation we have for pv_ops is currenty present
      on the IA64 docs, but since this documentation covers IA64 xen
      enablement and IA64 Xen support got ripped out a while ago
      through commit d52eefb4 present since v3.14-rc1 lets just
      simplify, generalize and move the pv_ops documentation to a
      shared place.

      virtio-mmio: Update the device to OASIS spec version · 1862ee22
      Pawel Moll authored
      This patch add a support for second version of the virtio-mmio device,
      which follows OASIS "Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.0"
      specification.
      
      Main changes:
      
      1. The control register symbolic names use the new device/driver
         nomenclature rather than the old guest/host one.
      
      2. The driver detect the device version (version 1 is the pre-OASIS
         spec, version 2 is compatible with fist revision of the OASIS spec)
         and drives the device accordingly.
      
      3. New version uses direct addressing (64 bit address split into two
         low/high register) instead of the guest page size based one,
         and addresses each part of the queue (descriptors, available, used)
         separately.
      
      4. The device activity is now explicitly triggered by writing to the
         "queue ready" register.
      
      5. Whole 64 bit features are properly handled now (both ways).
