Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v5 0/4] qemu: Allow PCI virtio on ARM "virt" machine
Hello!
I was a bit confused about the patches that landed; I see now that
they only
add a PCI controller for modern -M virt, but don't change the virtio defaults
to use it.
Yes, because in first versions i changed the default and was criticized for it, because
it broke
backwards compatibility with existing distros, which even don't enable PCI-Generic for
both ARM
architectures (and indeed ARM64 support for PCI-Generic is going to be enabled in upstream
kernel
v4.3 only).
To tell the truth i'm too lazy now to look up relevant threads.
Kind regards,
