Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] qdev: add driver class support.
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 15:02:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1247144544-8885-1-git-send-email-kraxel@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi,
This patch series brings driver classes to qdev.
DeviceInfo gets a new field specifying what kind of device this is.
For starters there are Sound cards and Network cards. The number
of device classes will probably grow over time.
The device class will be shown in the listing printed by '-device ?', so
users and management apps can figure what kinds of -- say -- network
cards are supported by that particular qemu binary.
Last patch in the series makes pci_nic_init() use this as well. The
hard-coded driver name tables are gone. Compiling out drivers for
certain pci network cards is easy now, just lose the object file.
cheers,
Gerd
