OK, this is in a shape where we could include it in the spec. Changes from v5: - scope reductions (see below). We can add more features down the road, hopefully reduced scope will be enough to finalize spec soon. - cleanup and integrate in the spec - pseudo-code
Deferred features: - dropped _F_DESC_LIST, 1.0 includes this unconditionally, we can do same - dropped event structure change notifications - needed for efficient hardware implementations but let's add this on top 3 1st patches just move text around so all virtio 1.0 things are in the same place. 2 last ones add the new layout Option to mark descriptors as not generating events isn't yet implemented. Again, let's add this on top. I also note that for hardware implementations, a different set of memory barriers is needed. Again, let's add this on top not linking into conformance sections, will add after spec itself is approved. Michael S.
