4	help
5	  This option is selected by any driver which implements the virtio
6	  bus, such as CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO, CONFIG_RPMSG
7	  or CONFIG_S390_GUEST.

9config ARCH_HAS_RESTRICTED_VIRTIO_MEMORY_ACCESS
10	bool

17	help
18	  Modern PCI device implementation. This module implements the
19	  basic probe and control for devices which are based on modern
20	  PCI device with possible vendor specific extensions. Any
21	  module that selects this module must depend on PCI.

32	select VIRTIO_PCI_LIB
33	select VIRTIO
34	help
35	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
36	  drivers over PCI.  This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
37	  virtio backends.  Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
38	  (like KVM or Xen).
39
40	  If unsure, say M.

42config VIRTIO_PCI_LEGACY
43	bool "Support for legacy virtio draft 0.9.X and older devices"
44	default y
45	depends on VIRTIO_PCI
46	help
47          Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
48
49	  This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
50	  both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
51	  If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
52	  with no legacy compatibility.
53
54          So look out into your driveway.  Do you have a flying car?  If
55          so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
56          break.  Otherwise, leave it set.  Unless you're testing what
57          life will be like in The Future.
58
59	  If unsure, say Y.

61config VIRTIO_VDPA

63	depends on VDPA
64	select VIRTIO
65	help
66	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual
67	  device driver over vDPA bus. For this to be useful, you need
68	  an appropriate vDPA device implementation that operates on a
69	  physical device to allow the datapath of virtio to be
70	  offloaded to hardware.
71
72	  If unsure, say M.

74config VIRTIO_PMEM
75	tristate "Support for virtio pmem driver"

77	depends on LIBNVDIMM
78	help
79	  This driver provides access to virtio-pmem devices, storage devices
80	  that are mapped into the physical address space - similar to NVDIMMs
81	   - with a virtio-based flushing interface.
82
83	  If unsure, say Y.

104	help
105	 This driver provides access to virtio-mem paravirtualized memory
106	 devices, allowing to hotplug and hotunplug memory.
107
108	 This driver was only tested under x86-64, but should theoretically
109	 work on all architectures that support memory hotplug and hotremove.
110
111	 If unsure, say M.

137	 Allow virtio-mmio devices instantiation via the kernel command line
138	 or module parameters. Be aware that using incorrect parameters (base
139	 address in particular) can crash your system - you have been warned.
140	 See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst for details.
