Subject: [PATCH 4/6] admin: Reference transport specific administration virtqueue discovery
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 14:45:54 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017114556.1701355-5-parav@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017114556.1701355-1-parav@nvidia.com>

The administration virtqueues section states that the number and
locations of administration virtqueues are exposed in a transport
specific manner, without pointing to where this is described.

Now that both the PCI and the MMIO transports describe it, add
references to the respective transport sections.

 or more administration virtqueues. The number and locations of the

 The driver enqueues requests to an arbitrary administration
 virtqueue, and they are used by the device on that same
