Nice meeting you in the libvirt mail-list. Greetings from Linaro !!! 

     I am Kevin Zhao from Linaro and working for OpenStack on Aarch64. Nowadays I find that the default "virtio" bus is "virtio-mmio" , not "virtio-pci". Since virtio-mmio do not has the host plugged function , something is wrong with the function in OpenStack Nova.

      

      Then I search and find some mail information as belows by Cole :-) 

      1) https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-December/msg00217.html

      2) https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-March/msg00167.html

      

       I see some efforts have been doing by you. Really thanks for your efforts for Aarch64. And I have some small questions.

      1. Is Libvirt planning to replace the default virtio-mmio to virtio-pci for Aarch64?

      2. If not , how can I change the xml file(generated by Virsh) for virtio-pci  so that Qemu can recognize it ?

      

       Really big thanks for your help. Looking forwards to your response! 

Best Regards,

Kevin Zhao
