The first member is a DeviceState or a specialization of DeviceState, e.g. a PCIDevice. Simple enough.I think Evgeny's virtio mmio patches change all this. In the recent virtio-pci thread we were discussing how the virtio transport (mmio, pci) and virtio devices (net, blk, etc) fit together. The email thread is "Virtio-pci issues" from Evgeny Voevodin <address@hidden>.Thanks for the pointer. It's been a couple of weeks. Evgeny, are you still pursuing this?
Yes, but in the past time we have a lot of work in Tizen project, so I delayed this work a bit. If anybody wants I can send latest patches to let you continue the work or maybe improve since I'm not sure if I'll have a time to continue until 15'th of june (but I'll try :). Actuallymy work is based on Peter's virtio-mmio patch set http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-11/msg01870.html, so maybe it's worth
adding him in the list <address@hidden>.
It probably makes sense to first merge Evgeny's virtio refactoring and then ensure it's nicely mapped to QOM.Yes, no good attempting to do too much in one series. Nevertheless, having a sufficiently developed idea of the final state in mind helps.
