5	  This option is selected by any driver which implements the virtio
6	  bus, such as CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO, CONFIG_RPMSG

12	  Modern PCI device implementation. This module implements the
13	  basic probe and control for devices which are based on modern
14	  PCI device with possible vendor specific extensions. Any
15	  module that selects this module must depend on PCI.

20	  Legacy PCI device (Virtio PCI Card 0.9.x Draft and older device)
21	  implementation.
22	  This module implements the basic probe and control for devices
23	  which are based on legacy PCI device. Any module that selects this
24	  module must depend on PCI.

34        help
35          Enable this to harden the device notifications and suppress
36          those that happen at a time where notifications are illegal.
37
38          Experimental: Note that several drivers still have bugs that
39          may cause crashes or hangs when correct handling of
40          notifications is enforced; depending on the subset of
41          drivers and devices you use, this may or may not work.
42
43          If unsure, say N.

45config VIRTIO_PCI
46	tristate "PCI driver for virtio devices"
47	depends on PCI
48	select VIRTIO_PCI_LIB
49	select VIRTIO
50	help
51	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
52	  drivers over PCI.  This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
53	  virtio backends.  Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
54	  (like KVM or Xen).
55
56	  If unsure, say M.

63	help
64          Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
65
66	  This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
67	  both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
68	  If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
69	  with no legacy compatibility.
70
71          So look out into your driveway.  Do you have a flying car?  If
72          so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
73          break.  Otherwise, leave it set.  Unless you're testing what
74          life will be like in The Future.
75
76	  If unsure, say Y.

78config VIRTIO_VDPA

80	depends on VDPA
81	select VIRTIO
82	help
83	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual
84	  device driver over vDPA bus. For this to be useful, you need
85	  an appropriate vDPA device implementation that operates on a
86	  physical device to allow the datapath of virtio to be
87	  offloaded to hardware.
88
89	  If unsure, say M.

96	  This driver provides access to virtio-pmem devices, storage devices
97	  that are mapped into the physical address space - similar to NVDIMMs
98	   - with a virtio-based flushing interface.
99
100	  If unsure, say Y.

122	 This driver provides access to virtio-mem paravirtualized memory
123	 devices, allowing to hotplug and hotunplug memory.
124
125	 This driver was only tested under x86-64 and arm64, but should
126	 theoretically work on all architectures that support memory hotplug
127	 and hotremove.

156	 or module parameters. Be aware that using incorrect parameters (base
157	 address in particular) can crash your system - you have been warned.
