Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v5 0/4] qemu: Allow PCI virtio on ARM "virt" machine

Virt machine in qemu since v2.3.0 has PCI generic host controller, and can use PCI devices. This provides performance improvement as well as vhost-net with irqfd support for virtio-net. However libvirt currently does not allow ARM virt machine to have PCI devices. This patchset adds the necessary support. Changes since v4: - Rebased onto current master - Added possibility to plug virtio-net-pci adapter directly into PCIe bus. This is necessary for irqfds to work in qemu. Changes since v3: - Capability is based not on qemu version but on support of "gpex-pcihost" device by qemu - Added a workaround, allowing to pass "make check". The problem is that test suite does not build capabilities cache. Unfortunately this means that correct unit-test for the new functionality currently cannot be written. Test suite framework needs to be improved. Changes since v2: Complete rework, use different approach - Correctly model PCI Express bus on the machine. It is now possible to explicitly specify <address-type='pci'> with attributes. This allows to attach not only virtio, but any other PCI device to the model. - Default is not changed and still mmio, for backwards compatibility with existing installations. PCI bus has to be explicitly specified. - Check for the capability in correct place, in v2 it actually did not work Changes since v1: - Added capability based on qemu version number - Recognize also "virt-" prefix Pavel Fedin (4): qemu: Introduce QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_GPEX Add PCI-Express root to ARM virt machine Build correct command line for PCI NICs on ARM Allow to plug virtio-net-pci into PCIe slot
