The problem is I don't have any documentation for the LSI parallel SCSI controller. So I don't know if and in what shape I/O is passed down, nor anything else. And as the SCSI disk emulation is really tied into the LSI parallel SCSI controller, any change in the former is likely to break the latter. And what with me no way of fixing it. Hence I decided on this approach. I surely can go ahead and patch up the scsi disk emulation, but it's quite likely to break the LSI controller. If that's okay with everybody, I'll surely go ahead there.
Reverse engineered devices are dangerous. They might work on some guests but break badly on others, or even worse, break when a guest driver is updated.
Is there no way to get the documentation? -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
