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

12	  This option is selected if the architecture may need to enforce
13	  VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM

16	tristate
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.
22
23config VIRTIO_PCI_LIB_LEGACY
24	tristate
25	help
26	  Legacy PCI device (Virtio PCI Card 0.9.x Draft and older device)
27	  implementation.
28	  This module implements the basic probe and control for devices
29	  which are based on legacy PCI device. Any module that selects this
30	  module must depend on PCI.

41	select VIRTIO_PCI_LIB
42	select VIRTIO
43	help
44	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
45	  drivers over PCI.  This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
46	  virtio backends.  Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
47	  (like KVM or Xen).
48
49	  If unsure, say M.

52	bool "Support for legacy virtio draft 0.9.X and older devices"
53	default y
54	depends on VIRTIO_PCI
55	select VIRTIO_PCI_LIB_LEGACY
56	help
57          Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
58
59	  This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
60	  both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
61	  If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
62	  with no legacy compatibility.
63
64          So look out into your driveway.  Do you have a flying car?  If
65          so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
66          break.  Otherwise, leave it set.  Unless you're testing what
67          life will be like in The Future.
68
69	  If unsure, say Y.

73	depends on VDPA
74	select VIRTIO
75	help
76	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual
77	  device driver over vDPA bus. For this to be useful, you need
78	  an appropriate vDPA device implementation that operates on a
79	  physical device to allow the datapath of virtio to be
80	  offloaded to hardware.
81
82	  If unsure, say M.

87	depends on LIBNVDIMM
88	help
89	  This driver provides access to virtio-pmem devices, storage devices
90	  that are mapped into the physical address space - similar to NVDIMMs
91	   - with a virtio-based flushing interface.
92
93	  If unsure, say Y.

116	 This driver provides access to virtio-mem paravirtualized memory
117	 devices, allowing to hotplug and hotunplug memory.
118
119	 This driver was only tested under x86-64, but should theoretically
120	 work on all architectures that support memory hotplug and hotremove.
121
122	 If unsure, say M.

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