[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 10/88] virtio-pci: enable bus master for old guests


From: Michael Roth
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 10/88] virtio-pci: enable bus master for old guests
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 11:33:14 -0600

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <address@hidden>

commit cc943c36faa192cd4b32af8fe5edb31894017d35
    pci: Use bus master address space for delivering MSI/MSI-X messages
breaks virtio-net for rhel6.[56] x86 guests because they don't
enable bus mastering for virtio PCI devices. For the same reason,
rhel6.[56] ppc64 guests cannot boot on a virtio-blk disk anymore.

Old guests forgot to enable bus mastering, enable it automatically on
DRIVER (guests use some devices before DRIVER_OK).
