2025-12-18	virtio: clean up features qword/dword terms	Michael S. Tsirkin	1	-14/+15
	[ Upstream commit 9513f25056b22100ddffe24898c587873b0d022c ] virtio pci uses word to mean "16 bits". mmio uses it to mean "32 bits". To avoid confusion, let's avoid the term in core virtio altogether. Just say U64 to mean "64 bit".

2025-07-08	virtio: introduce extended features	Paolo Abeni	1	-0/+88
	The virtio specifications allows for up to 128 bits for the device features. Soon we are going to use some of the 'extended' bits features (above 64) for the virtio_net driver. Introduce extended features as a fixed size array of u64. To minimize the diffstat allows legacy driver to access the low 64 bits via a transparent union. Introduce an extended get_extended_features configuration callback that devices supporting the extended features range must implement in place of the traditional one. Note that legacy and transport features don't need any change, as they are always in the low 64 bit range. Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
