[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] pseries: Implement automatic PAPR VIO address allocation

2012-04-25 Thread David Gibson
PAPR virtual IO (VIO) devices require a unique, but otherwise arbitrary, "address" used as a token to the hypercalls which manipulate them. Currently the pseries machine code does an ok job of allocating these addresses when the legacy -net nic / -serial and so forth options are used but will fail
