Subject: [PATCH v4 04/27] KVM: Make device name configurable
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 10:52:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706085229.979525-5-seiden@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706085229.979525-1-seiden@linux.ibm.com>

Allow KVM implementations to choose alternative device names. This is
especially useful for architectures providing multiple KVM
implementations simultaneously.
