bus, such as CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO, CONFIG_RPMSG

or CONFIG_S390_GUEST.

|
select VIRTIO
|
---help---
|
This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
|
drivers over PCI. This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
|
virtio backends. Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
|
(like KVM or Xen).

If unsure, say M.

|
Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
|
|
This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
|
both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
|
If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
|
with no legacy compatibility.
|
|
So look out into your driveway. Do you have a flying car? If
|
so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
|
break. Otherwise, leave it set. Unless you're testing what
|
life will be like in The Future.
|

If unsure, say Y.

|
This driver provides access to virtio-pmem devices, storage devices
|
that are mapped into the physical address space - similar to NVDIMMs
|
- with a virtio-based flushing interface.
|
|
If unsure, say Y.

Allow virtio-mmio devices instantiation via the kernel command line
|
or module parameters. Be aware that using incorrect parameters (base
|
address in particular) can crash your system - you have been warned.

See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst for details.
