41          those that happen at a time where notifications are illegal.
42
43          Experimental: Note that several drivers still have issues that
44          may cause crashes or hangs when correct handling of
45          notifications is enforced; depending on the subset of
46          drivers and devices you use, this may or may not work.

55	help
56	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
57	  drivers over PCI.  This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
58	  virtio backends.  Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
59	  (like KVM or Xen).

75
76	  This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
77	  both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
78	  If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
79	  with no legacy compatibility.
80
81          So look out into your driveway.  Do you have a flying car?  If
82          so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
83          break.  Otherwise, leave it set.  Unless you're testing what
84          life will be like in The Future.

94	  device driver over vDPA bus. For this to be useful, you need
95	  an appropriate vDPA device implementation that operates on a
96	  physical device to allow the datapath of virtio to be

136	 Although it should compile on other architectures that implement
137	 memory hot(un)plug, architecture-specific and/or common
138	 code changes may be required for virtio-mem, kdump and kexec to
