Doc Text:
This update adds support for version 1.0 of the virtio protocol to the virtio-serial 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 17:57:19 UTC
Add Virtio-1.0 support for vioserial. 
Should support either "legacy" mode, "modern" mode, or both ("transitional").
The default mode should be "transitional".

virtio-win-prewhql-126 vioser whql test with virtio1.0 passed.
So change status to verified.
