This should work out of the box with my patches (virtio-pci and virtio-mmio return 0 for high feature bits). > > So bit 32 is set, but not exposed to guests. > In fact at least for PCI, we have a 32 bit field for > features in 0.9 so it's automatic. > Didn't check mmio yet. We still to make sure the bit is not set for unconverted devices, though. But you're probably right that having the device set the bit is less error-prone. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
