Waiting for an answer from the ioput guys here.

Nothing.  It's highly unlikely though given the throughput we have for
input devices, not sure it is that useful to put too much effort into
this.  Except for freeing stsbuf in the error case.

I think input_dev->event_lock does this.

Yes, it can.

I'll add it.

Hmm, it is pointless indeed.

kzalloc?

Not fully sure how bitmaps are defined.  virtio has a stream of bytes,
first byte carries bits 0-7, second 8-15 etc.  linux kernel bitmaps ops
are operating on longs, and native byteorder longs would be something
else ...

Indeed.  IIRC that wasn't the case a while back.  Guess those bitwise
annotations have been added with the virtio 1.0 patches?

In any case I'll fix it up.

I don't think this is needed.  There isn't a hard dependency on virtio
1.0.  It's just that config space is relatively large and because of
that I want it be 1.0 on the host (qemu) side to not allocate large
portions of I/O address space for the legacy virtio pci bar.

See other subthread, will be changed to be host-provided (like name).

Correct.

Ok.

Will fix.

Ok.

Indeed, good catch.
