select VIRTIO
select VIRTIO_RING
---help---
This drivers provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
drivers over PCI. This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
virtio backends. Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
(like KVM or Xen).
Currently, the ABI is not considered stable so there is no guarantee
that this version of the driver will work with your VMM.
If unsure, say M.
config VIRTIO_BALLOON
tristate "Virtio balloon driver"
depends on VIRTIO
---help---
This driver supports increasing and decreasing the amount
of memory within a KVM guest.
If unsure, say M.
config VIRTIO_MMIO
tristate "Platform bus driver for memory mapped virtio devices (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on HAS_IOMEM && EXPERIMENTAL
select VIRTIO
select VIRTIO_RING
---help---
This drivers provides support for memory mapped virtio
platform device driver.
If unsure, say N.
config VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES
bool "Memory mapped virtio devices parameter parsing"
depends on VIRTIO_MMIO
---help---
Allow virtio-mmio devices instantiation via the kernel command line
or module parameters. Be aware that using incorrect parameters (base
address in particular) can crash your system - you have been warned.
See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for details.
If unsure, say 'N'.
