How about virtio-phys?
Could work.
Arnd and BenH are both looking at PPC systems (similar to mine). Grant
Likely is looking at talking to an processor core running on an FPGA,
IIRC. Most of the code can be shared, very little should need to be
board-specific, I hope.
Excellent.
That said, I'm not sure how qemu-system-ppc running on x86 could
possibly communicate using virtio-net. This would mean the guest is an
emulated big-endian PPC, while the host is a little-endian x86. I
haven't actually tested this situation, so perhaps I am wrong.
I'm confused now. You don't actually have any guest, do you, so why
would you run qemu at all?
I do not run qemu. I am just stating a problem with virtio-net that I
noticed. This is just so someone more knowledgeable can be aware of the
problem.
Ah, it certainly doesn't byteswap. Maybe nobody tried it. Hollis?
