9 * The Guest needs devices to do anything useful. Since we don't let it touch
10 * real devices (think of the damage it could do!) we provide virtual devices.
11 * We could emulate a PCI bus with various devices on it, but that is a fairly
12 * complex burden for the Host and suboptimal for the Guest, so we have our own
13 * simple lguest bus and we use "virtio" drivers. These drivers need a set of
14 * routines from us which will actually do the virtual I/O, but they handle all
15 * the net/block/console stuff themselves. This means that if we want to add
16 * a new device, we simply need to write a new virtio driver and create support
17 * for it in the Launcher: this code won't need to change.
19 * Devices are described by a simplified ID, a status byte, and some "config"
20 * bytes which describe this device's configuration. This is placed by the
21 * Launcher just above the top of physical memory:
23 struct lguest_device_desc {
24 /* The device type: console, network, disk etc. Type 0 terminates. */
26 /* The number of bytes of the config array. */
28 /* A status byte, written by the Guest. */
33 /*D:135 This is how we expect the device configuration field for a virtqueue
34 * (type VIRTIO_CONFIG_F_VIRTQUEUE) to be laid out: */
35 struct lguest_vqconfig {
36 /* The number of entries in the virtio_ring */
38 /* The interrupt we get when something happens. */
40 /* The page number of the virtio ring for this device. */
