From 1d649244b3695cb148dd2ae66999db0f6f9566b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Armbruster Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 18:06:29 +0100 Subject: ivshmem: Rename property memdev to x-memdev for 2.5 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The device's guest interface and its QEMU user interface are flawed^Whotly debated. We'll resolve that in the next development cycle, probably by deprecating the device in favour of a cleaned up, but not quite compatible revision. To avoid adding more baggage to the soon-to-be-deprecated interface, mark property "memdev" as experimental, by renaming it to "x-memdev". It's the only recent user interface change.
