virtio: PCI device
This is a PCI device that implements a transport for virtio. It allows virtio devices to be used by QEMU based VMMs like KVM or Xen. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

+ 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.
