2013-11-112.3.2 MMIO: Define reset requirementshornet
This patch addresses VIRTIO-47, adding explicit description of the device behaviour when being reset.

2013-11-10compatibility: extendable config space and pci cfgmstsirkin
We often specify specific layout of config space, in the past drivers took this to mean "there will be no other fields" and failed devices where config space was larger. To avoid such issues in the future, document that drivers should only check size is >= the required value.

Aka issue VIRTIO-35. This is solved per transport: 1) PCI: use the 8 bit reserved field.

2013-09-30virtqueue: flexible layout, size, alignmentmstsirkin
Transports can now lay out available/used/descriptor regions in a flexible way. This is useful for embedded systems to save memory, and for large systems to reduce the need for physically-contigious memory. However, this does not add a way to actually program this in any of the transports, so it's not useful by itself, separate follow-up patches will add a way to program this for transports.
