Since we don't let it touch * real devices (think of the damage it could do!) we provide virtual devices. * We could emulate a PCI bus with various devices on it, but that is a fairly * complex burden for the Host and suboptimal for the Guest, so we have our own * simple lguest bus and we use "virtio" drivers. These drivers need a set of * routines from us which will actually do the virtual I/O, but they handle all * the net/block/console stuff themselves. This means that if we want to add * a new device, we simply need to write a new virtio driver and create support * for it in the Launcher: this code won't need to change. * * Virtio devices are also used by kvm, so we can simply reuse their optimized * device drivers. And one day when everyone uses virtio, my plan will be * complete. Bwahahahah! * * Devices are described by a simplified ID, a status byte, and some "config" * bytes which describe this device's configuration. This is placed by the * Launcher just above the top of physical memory: */ struct lguest_device_desc { /* The device type: console, network, disk etc. Type 0 terminates. */ __u8 type; /* The number of virtqueues (first in config array) */ __u8 num_vq; /* The number of bytes of feature bits.
