[OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (VIRTIO-32) MMIO: allow full 64 bit ring addresses

[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/VIRTIO-32?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Rusty Russell updated VIRTIO-32:
--------------------------------

        Summary: MMIO: allow full 64 bit ring addresses  (was: allow full 64 bit ring addresses)
       Assignee: Pawel Moll
    Description: 
we are using a 32 bit queuepfn so addresses can't be anywhere
in 64 bit address space.

[Re-titling: This already resolved in the draft for PCI.  CCW doesn't use pfns at all, and uses a 64 bit address.  MMIO uses a QueuePFN and a GuestPageSize, meaning it can go to larger addresses by sacrificing alignment.]

Assigning to Pawel: does he want to fix this, or leave things as-is?
