Subject: [PATCH] virtio_pci: add module param to force legacy mode
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:56:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421337370-25961-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com> (raw)
If set, try legacy interface first, modern one if that fails. Useful to
work around device/driver bugs, and for compatibility testing.
