2013-10-31Configuration (read) atomicity.rusty
Aka issue VIRTIO-35. This is solved per transport: 1) PCI: use the 8 bit reserved field. Assume that if you really change that fast, you'll do it lazily on config space read. 2) MMIO (already solved by v2 update) 3) CCW: no transport changes. They always read/write the entire thing. This just shows that Cornelia is smarter than I am.

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.
