2QEMU PCI serial devices
3=======================
4
5QEMU implements some PCI serial devices which are simple PCI
6wrappers around one or more 16550 UARTs.

8There is one single-port variant and two multiport-variants.  Linux
9guests work out-of-the box with all cards.  There is a Windows inf file
10(``docs/qemupciserial.inf``) to set up the cards in Windows guests.

33PCI Region 0:
34   IO bar, with two or four 16550 UARTs mapped after each other.
35   The first is at offset 0, the second at offset 8, and so on.
