[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-spec: split virtio-net device status filed i


From: Jason Wang
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-spec: split virtio-net device status filed into ro and rw byte
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 23:20:26 +0800
User-agent: StGit/0.15

This patch splits the device status field of virtio-net into ro and rw
byte. This would simplify the implementation of both host and guest
and make the layout more clean. As VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE is a rw bit,
it was moved to bit 8 (0x100).

btw. looks like there's no implementation that depends on
VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE, so the move is safe.
