+config VIRTIO
+ tristate
+ ---help---
+ This option is selected by any driver which implements the virtio
+ bus, such as CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO, CONFIG_LGUEST,
+ CONFIG_RPMSG or CONFIG_S390_GUEST.

+config VIRTIO_PCI
+ tristate "PCI driver for virtio devices"
+ depends on PCI
+ select VIRTIO
+ ---help---
+ This drivers provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
+ drivers over PCI. This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
+ virtio backends. Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
+ (like KVM or Xen).
+
+ Currently, the ABI is not considered stable so there is no guarantee
+ that this version of the driver will work with your VMM.
+
+ If unsure, say M.
+
+config VIRTIO_BALLOON
+ tristate "Virtio balloon driver"
+ depends on VIRTIO
+ ---help---
+ This driver supports increasing and decreasing the amount
+ of memory within a KVM guest.
+
+ If unsure, say M.
+
+ config VIRTIO_MMIO
+ tristate "Platform bus driver for memory mapped virtio devices"
+ depends on HAS_IOMEM
+ select VIRTIO
+ ---help---
+ This drivers provides support for memory mapped virtio
+ platform device driver.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES
+ bool "Memory mapped virtio devices parameter parsing"
+ depends on VIRTIO_MMIO
+ ---help---
+ Allow virtio-mmio devices instantiation via the kernel command line
+ or module parameters. Be aware that using incorrect parameters (base
+ address in particular) can crash your system - you have been warned.
+ See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for details.
+
+ If unsure, say 'N'.
