| |
Add a function to allocate a root device object to group the devices from a given virtio implementation.
Also add a 'module' sysfs symlink to allow so that userspace can generically determine which virtio implementation a device is associated with. This will be used by Fedora mkinitrd to generically determine e.g. that virtio_pci is needed to mount a given root filesystem.
