Well, actually this platform driver is used together with already existing drivers, so there are no new virtio drivers to wait for. The drivers that have been tested are so far: CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y At this point there are four different pieces of code working together 1) Virtio platform driver patches (for guest) 2) SH4AL-DSP guest kernel patch 3) ARM UIO driver patches (for host) 4) User space backing code for ARM based on lguest.c These patches in this mail thread are 1), and I decided to brush up that portion and submit upstream because it's the part that is easiest to break out. I intend to post the rest bit by bit over time, but if someone is interested then I can post everything at once too. > The S/390 devs might be interested, as their bus is very similar too... The lguest device code is very similar as well, perhaps it's worth refactoring that a bit to build on top of the platform driver. Not sure if you see that as a move in the right direction though.
