Subject: [PATCH v1 16/27] KVM: Make device name configurable
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2026 06:21:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402042125.3948963-17-seiden@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402042125.3948963-1-seiden@linux.ibm.com>
Allow KVM implementations to choose alternative device names. This is
especially useful for architectures providing multiple KVM
implementations simultaneously.
