As Avi pointed out, as we continue to massage the virtio PCI ABI, we can make
things a little more friendly to users by utilizing the PCI revision field to
indicate which version of the ABI we're using. This is a hard ABI version
and incrementing it will cause the guest driver to break.
This is the necessary changes to virtio_pci to support this.

This is a PCI device that implements a transport for virtio. It allows virtio
devices to be used by QEMU based VMMs like KVM or Xen.

This patch goes on top of the minor number patch. Please let me know if
you want a merged patch:
Currently virtio_blk creates the disk name combinging "vd" with 'a'++.
This will give strange names after vdz. I have implemented names up to
vdzzz - inspired by the sd.c code. That should be sufficient for now.
There is one driver in the kernel (driver/s390/block/dasd_genhd.c) that
implements names from dasda-dasdzzzz allowing even more disks. Maybe
a janitor can come up with a common implementation usable for all kind
of block device drivers.
I have tested this patch with 100 disks - seems to work.

Rusty,
currently virtio_blk uses one major number per device. While this works
quite well on most systems it is wasteful and will exhaust major numbers
on larger installations.
This patch allocates a major number on init and will use 16 minor numbers
for each disk. That will allow ~64k virtio_blk disks.

Rusty,
I currently try to make my guest boot from an virtio root device
without having an external kernel. Some of the tools that I tried
expect HDIO_GETGEO to work. The most interesting value is likely
the geo.start value to get the offset of a partition. This value
is filled by block/ioctl.c if fops->getgeo is set. This patch also
fills in some standard values for heads, sectors and cylinders.
Makes sense?

Fix bug found by Christian Borntraeger: if the other side fills all
the registered network buffers before we enable NAPI, we will never
get an interrupt. The simplest fix is to process the input queue once
on open.

Hello Rusty,
virtnet_probe already calls alloc_etherdev, which calls ether_setup.
There is no need to do that again.

Anthony Liguori found double interrupt suppression in the virtio_net
driver, triggered by two skb_recv_done's in a row. This is because
virtio_ring's interrupt suppression is a best-effort optimization: it
contains no synchronization so the host can miss it and still send
interrupts.
But it's certainly nicer for virtio users if calling disable_cb
actually disables callbacks, so we check for the race in the interrupt
routine.
Note: SMP guests might require syncronization here, but since
disable_cb is actually called from interrupt context, there has to be
some form of synchronization before the next same interrupt handler is
called (Linux guarantees that the same device's irq handler will never
run simultanously on multiple CPUs).

A reset function solves three problems:
1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
guest driver without rebooting the guest.
2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and
3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.
We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

Since we want to reset the device to remove them, this is simpler
(device is reset for us on driver remove).

1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming
separate). Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something
you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win.
2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to
IPv6 or v4.
3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do
checksumming).
4) Add csum and gso params to virtio_net to allow more testing.

It's far easier to deal with packets if we don't have to parse the
packet to figure out the header length to know how much to pull into
the skb data. Add the field to the virtio_net_hdr struct (and fix the
spaces that somehow crept in there).

The other side (host) can set the NO_NOTIFY flag as an optimization,
to say "no need to kick me when you add things". Make it clear that
this is advisory only; especially that we should always notify when
the ring is full.

It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before
calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so.
Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback
now returns void, rather than a boolean.

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.
The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

Use it in virtio_net (replacing buggy version there), it's also going

Building the aic7xxx driver includes the copy
of an .h file from a _shipped file.
In a highly parallel build Ingo saw that the
build sometimes failed (included distcc usage).
It was tracked down to a missing dependency from the .c
source file to the generated .h file.
We started to build the .c file before the
copy (cat) operation of the .h file completed
and we then only got half of the definitions
from the copied .h file.
Add an explicit dependency from the .c files to the
generated .h files so make knows all dependencies and
finsih the build of the .h files before it starts
building the .o files.
Ingo tested this fix and reported:
good news: hundreds of successful kernel builds and no failures
overnight.
