[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1269628] [NEW] Feature Request: Please add TCG OPAL 2 emulation support to the virtio disk emulation

[Christ Schlacta]

Public bug reported:

In order to allow windows guests (and soon, linux guests) which are TCG
OPAL 2 aware to perform disk encryption in a native fashion with
hardware acceleration, please add TCG OPAL 2 emulation to the VIRTIO
driver.

Encryption should occur at the host level using any cryptographic
facilities available to the host, for example AES-NI, Cryptography
Hardware, underlying block device cryptography support where available
or any other cryptography facility that may be developed and implemented
in the future.
