[PATCH v2 2/7] Documentation: s390-diag.rst: make diag500 a generic KVM hypercall

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Let's make it a generic KVM hypercall, allowing other subfunctions to
be more independent of virtio.

This is a preparation for documenting a new hypercall.
