- This provides support for exposing VIRTIO NET VF devices which support
- legacy IO access, using the VFIO framework that can work with a legacy
- virtio driver in the guest.
- Based on PCIe spec, VFs do not support I/O Space.
- As of that this driver emulates I/O BAR in software to let a VF be
- seen as a transitional device by its users and let it work with
- a legacy driver.
