12	  Modern PCI device implementation. This module implements the
13	  basic probe and control for devices which are based on modern

15	  module that selects this module must depend on PCI.

22	  This module implements the basic probe and control for devices
23	  which are based on legacy PCI device. Any module that selects this

36	select VIRTIO
37	help
38	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
39	  drivers over PCI.  This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
40	  virtio backends.  Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
41	  (like KVM or Xen).

51          Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
52
53	  This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
54	  both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
55	  If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
56	  with no legacy compatibility.
57
58          So look out into your driveway.  Do you have a flying car?  If
59          so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
60          break.  Otherwise, leave it set.  Unless you're testing what
61          life will be like in The Future.

69	help
70	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual
71	  device driver over vDPA bus. For this to be useful, you need
72	  an appropriate vDPA device implementation that operates on a
73	  physical device to allow the datapath of virtio to be
74	  offloaded to hardware.
