+pvpanic device is a simulated ISA/SysBus device, through which a guest
+panic event is sent to qemu, and a QMP event is generated. This allows
 management apps (e.g. libvirt) to be notified and respond to the event.
 
 The management app has the option of waiting for GUEST_PANICKED events,
 and/or polling for guest-panicked RunState, to learn when the pvpanic
 device has fired a panic event.
 
+When pvpanic device is implemented as a ISA device, it supports IOPORT
+mode. Since QEMU v3.2 pvpanic also supports MMIO mode, it will be
+implemented as a SYSBUS device.

 Currently, only bit 0 is recognized, setting it indicates a guest panic
 has happened.
 
+SYSBUS Interface
+----------------

+The SYSBUS interface is similar to the ISA interface except that it uses
