Is it for others to use or are you going to use it youself? If you plan to e.g. complete igb to the point where Linux can use it, then I'll merge this. BTW for igb it might be easier to copy out e1000 code, at least that's what linux guest drivers did. Alternatively, if someone on list is interested in using this, please review and ack.
Hi, Even if nobody is actually going to implement an SR-IOV enabled device on top of this really soon, having it in QEMU should be handy. I know at least a hardware vendor that used those bits to emulate their SR-IOV device. Sadly their code will not come to QEMU, at least not so soon. (I'll ask at least for a "tested-by" tag) Maybe somebody will want to enable SR-IOV for virtio :) This is why I proposed to have a "how-to" doc for the first implementation. The implementer will choose then how to deal with this doc. I'll go over the code again and add my "Reviewed-by". Thanks! Marcel
