Subject: [PATCH RFC] virtio-pci: add MMIO property
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:56:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120319155650.GA6430@redhat.com> (raw)

Currently virtio-pci is specified so that configuration of the device is
done through a PCI IO space (via BAR 0 of the virtual PCI device).
However, Linux guests happen to use ioread/iowrite/iomap primitives
for access, and these work uniformly across memory/io BARs.

While PCI IO accesses are faster than MMIO on x86 kvm,
MMIO might be helpful on other systems which don't
implement PIO or where PIO is slower than MMIO.

Add a property to make it possible to tweak the BAR type.

Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

This is harmless by default but causes segfaults in memory.c
when enabled. Thus an RFC until I figure out what's wrong.
