• 674bfc23c   virtio: clarify that ABI is usable by any implementations ... Browse Code »

  We want others to implement and use virtio, so it makes sense to BSD
  license the non-__KERNEL__ parts of the headers to make this crystal
  clear.

• f7f510ec1   virtio: An entropy device, as suggested by hpa. ... Browse Code »

  Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
  little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
  the kernel entropy pool.

  Included:
  virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio

  If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
  in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
  can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate
  random_data dynamically with kmalloc.
