So on IRC pbrook wrote: <pbrook> So we have a bunch of devices that nominally claim to use the qdev infrastructure, but are still making assumptions that qdev was supposed to remove, so break horribly when you actually try to use it as intended. ...and my question is: where is the documentation on how to do a good conversion of a device to qdev, how it works, what the assumptions you can/can't make are, etc ? I can't see anything relevant in the source tree or on the website, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places... -- PMM -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
