Subject: [PATCH v7 2/6] doc: virtio: List the supported device types
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 07:34:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108233410.1556875-2-alan.tseng.cs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793836645.git.alan.tseng.cs@gmail.com>

The list of supported device types still only named network and block
devices. Turn it into a bulleted list, which is easier to extend, and
add the entropy, 9P and RTC devices. Also note that the virtio RTC
device needs QEMU v11.1.0 or later.

The Development Flow section repeated the old list; point it to the one
at the top instead.
