Subject: [PATCH] add virtio disk geometry feature
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:56:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1208372197-20815-1-git-send-email-ryanh@us.ibm.com> (raw)

From: Ryan Harper <ryanh@us.ibm.com>

Rather than faking up some geometry, allow the backend to push the disk
geometry via virtio pci config option.  Keep the old geo code around for
compatibility.
