[PATCH RFC 1/3] virtio: add API to detect legacy devices

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

 



transports need to be able to detect legacy-only
devices (ATM balloon only) to use legacy path
to drive them.

Add a core API to do just that.
The implementation just blacklists balloon:
not too pretty, but let's not over-engineer.
