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).

Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
with no legacy compatibility.
So look out into your driveway. Do you have a flying car? If
so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
break. Otherwise, leave it set. Unless you're testing what
life will be like in The Future.

virtio-balloon: add support for providing free page reports to host Add support for the page reporting feature provided by virtio-balloon. Reporting differs from the regular balloon functionality in that is is much less durable than a standard memory balloon. Instead of creating a list of pages that cannot be accessed the pages are only inaccessible while they are being indicated to the virtio interface. Once the interface has acknowledged them they are placed back into their respective free lists and are once again accessible by the guest system. Unlike a standard balloon we don't inflate and deflate the pages. Instead we perform the reporting, and once the reporting is completed it is assumed that the page has been dropped from the guest and will be faulted back in the next time the page is accessed.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotplug Each virtio-mem device owns exactly one memory region. It is responsible for adding/removing memory from that memory region on request. When the device driver starts up, the requested amount of memory is queried and then plugged to Linux. On request, further memory can be plugged or unplugged. This patch only implements the plugging part. On x86-64, memory can currently be plugged in 4MB ("subblock") granularity. When required, a new memory block will be added (e.g., usually 128MB on x86-64) in order to plug more subblocks. Only x86-64 was tested for now. The online_page callback is used to keep unplugged subblocks offline when onlining memory - similar to the Hyper-V balloon driver. Unplugged pages are marked PG_offline, to tell dump tools (e.g., makedumpfile) to skip them. User space is usually responsible for onlining the added memory. The memory hotplug notifier is used to synchronize virtio-mem activity against memory onlining/offlining. Each virtio-mem device can belong to a NUMA node, which allows us to easily add/remove small chunks of memory to/from a specific NUMA node by using multiple virtio-mem devices. Something that works even when the guest has no idea about the NUMA topology. One way to view virtio-mem is as a "resizable DIMM" or a DIMM with many "sub-DIMMS". This patch directly introduces the basic infrastructure to implement memory unplug. Especially the memory block states and subblock bitmaps will be heavily used there. Notes: - In case memory is to be onlined by user space, we limit the amount of offline memory blocks, to not run out of memory. This is esp. an issue if memory is added faster than it is getting onlined. - Suspend/Hibernate is not supported due to the way virtio-mem devices behave. Limited support might be possible in the future. - Reloading the device driver is not supported.

virtio-mem: disallow mapping virtio-mem memory via /dev/mem We don't want user space to be able to map virtio-mem device memory directly (e.g., via /dev/mem) in order to have guarantees that in a sane setup we'll never accidentially access unplugged memory within the device-managed region of a virtio-mem device, just as required by the virtio-spec. As soon as the virtio-mem driver is loaded, the device region is visible in /proc/iomem via the parent device region. From that point on user space is aware of the device region and we want to disallow mapping anything inside that region (where we will dynamically (un)plug memory) until the driver has been unloaded cleanly and e.g., another driver might take over. By creating our parent IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resource with IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, we will disallow any /dev/mem access to our device region until the driver was unloaded cleanly and removed the parent region. This will work even though only some memory blocks are actually currently added to Linux and appear as busy in the resource tree. So access to the region from user space is only possible a) if we don't load the virtio-mem driver. b) after unloading the virtio-mem driver cleanly. Don't build virtio-mem if access to /dev/mem cannot be restricticted -- if we have CONFIG_DEVMEM=y but CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is not set.
