This patch series adds support for paravirtual device drivers that use virtio. virtio is a frame work in Linux for abstracting the details of virtual IO so that a single device driver (like networking) can be used with multiple hypervisors using a small shim layer. Currently, Linux supports a virtio network and a virtio block device and a shim layer for lguest. I have a PCI shim layer for virtio that is suitable for use in QEMU. This is currently in Rusty Russell's virtio tree awaiting the Linux merge window to open again.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
