Hello Dmitry,

Is PVSCSI also ready to boot through BIOS Int 13h?
If not, do you plan a SEABIOS patch?

Thnx.

Ciao,
Gerhard

Below is the implementation of VMWare PVSCSI device and
command line parameters to configure vendor name and product name
for SCSI storage are implemented.
Latter is needed to make PVSCSI storage devices look exactly as
on VMWare hypervisors.

With this and VMWARE3 patches V2V migration problem for VMWare
images should be solved relatively easy.

PVSCSI implementation is based on Paolo Bonzini code sumbitted
some time ago but never applied.
See commit messages and file headers for details.

Implementation supports of all the device features.
Code was tested on different OSes:
     Fedora 15
     Ubuntu 10.4
     Centos 6.2
     Windows 2008R2
     Windows 2008 64bit
     Windows 2008 32bit
     Windows 2003 64bit
     Windows 2003 32bit

Dmitry Fleytman (5):
   Utility function strpadcpy() added
   Vendor name and product name parameters for SCSI devices     Options
     "vendor_name" and "product_name" added for SCSI disks.
   Header with various utility functions shared by VMWARE SCSI and
     network devices
   PVCSI paravirtualized device implementation
   PVSCSI paravirtualized device integration     Bus type "pvscsi"
     added.
