Subject: [PATCH v6 02/33] KVM: Make device name configurable
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 17:35:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812153631.3376090-3-seiden@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812153631.3376090-1-seiden@linux.ibm.com>
Allow KVM implementations to choose alternative device names. This is
especially useful for architectures providing multiple KVM
implementations simultaneously.
