Subject: [PATCH 07/16] SUPPORT.md: Add virtual devices common to ARM and x86
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2017 15:41:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171113154126.13038-7-george.dunlap@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171113154126.13038-1-george.dunlap@citrix.com>
Mostly PV protocols.
Signed-off-by: George Dunlap <george.dunlap@citrix.com>

The xl side of this seems a bit incomplete: There are a number of
things supported but not mentioned (like networking, &c), and a number
of things not in xl (PV SCSI). Couldn't find evidence of pvcall or pv
keyboard support. Also we seem to be missing "PV channels" from this
list entirely
