Doc Text:
This update adds support for version 1.0 of the virtio protocol to the NetKVM driver. Improvements in virtio 1.0 include better resource utilization and better performance. Note that if the virtual device supports virtio 1.0 as well as the older protocol (referred to as virtio 0.9.5 or 0.9, or simply legacy), the driver will use virtio 1.0.

Description Amnon Ilan 2016-02-02 15:53:27 UTC
Add Virtio-1.0 support for NetKVM. 
Should support either "legacy" mode, "modern" mode, or both ("transitional").
The default mode should be "transitional".

Comment 7 lijin 2016-08-25 02:23:30 UTC
change status to verified as virtio1.0 is already enabled on netkvm/scsi/blk/serial/balloon/rng drivers.
