# 313812 16-Feb-2017 grehan

MFC r311702
Use correct PCI device id for virtio-rng.
This prevented the device from attaching with a
Windows guest (most other guests use the device type
for matching)

PR: 212711


# 280743 27-Mar-2015 mav

MFC r280026, r280041:
Modify virtqueue helpers added in r253440 to allow queuing.

Original virtqueue design allows queued and out-of-order processing, but
helpers added in r253440 suppose only direct blocking in-order one.
It could be fine for network, etc., but it is a huge limitation for storage
devices.


# 271685 16-Sep-2014 grehan

MFC virtio-net changes.

Re-tested with NetBSD/amd64 5.2.2, 6.1.4 and 7-beta.

r271299:
Add a callback to be notified about negotiated features.

r271338:
Allow vtnet operation without merged rx buffers.

NetBSD's virtio-net implementation doesn't negotiate
the merged rx-buffers feature. To support this, check
to see if the feature was negotiated, and then adjust
the operation of the receive path accordingly by using
a larger iovec, and a smaller rx header.
In addition, ignore writes to the (read-only) status byte.

Catch bhyve up to CURRENT.

Lightly tested with FreeBSD i386/amd64, Linux i386/amd64, and
OpenBSD/amd64. Still resolving an issue with OpenBSD/i386.

Many thanks to jhb@ for all the hard work on the prior MFCs !
