+
+Shared memory regions \ref{sec:Basic Facilities of a Virtio
+Device / Shared Memory Regions} are enumerated on the PCI transport
+as a sequence of VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_SHARED_MEMORY_CFG capabilities, one per region.
+
+The capability is immediately followed by an additional field like so:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_pci_shm_cap {
+ struct virtio_pci_cap cap;
+ u32 offset_hi;
+ u32 length_hi;
+ u8 id;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+Given that the \field{cap.length} and \field{cap.offset} fields
+are only 32 bit, the additional \field{offset_hi} and \field {length_hi}
+fields provide the most significant 32 bits of a total 64 bit offset and
+length within the bar specified by \field{cap.bar}. \field{id}
+uniquely identifies the given shared memory region using a device
+specific identifier.
+
+While most capabilities can not be repeated, multiple
+VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_SHARED_MEMORY_CFG capabilities are allowed as long
+as the \field{id} is unique.
