Changeset 10374:e6195e09fb11 --------------------------- dev, pci: Implement basic VirtIO support This patch adds support for VirtIO over the PCI bus. It does so by providing the following new SimObjects: * VirtIODeviceBase - Abstract base class for VirtIO devices. * PciVirtIO - VirtIO PCI transport interface. A VirtIO device is hooked up to the guest system by adding a PciVirtIO device to the PCI bus and connecting it to a VirtIO device using the vio parameter. New VirtIO devices should inherit from VirtIODevice base and implementing one or more VirtQueues. The VirtQueues are usually device-specific and all derive from the VirtQueue class. Queues must be registered with the base class from the constructor since the device assumes that the number of queues stay constant.
