| 6 | This kernel module can be loaded in host kernel to accelerate | |
| 7 | guest networking with virtio_net. Not to be confused with virtio_net | |
| 8 | module itself which needs to be loaded in guest kernel. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will | |
| 11 | be called vhost_net. | |

| 29 | This kernel module can be loaded in the host kernel to provide AF_VSOCK | |
| 30 | sockets for communicating with guests. The guests must have the | |
| 31 | virtio_transport.ko driver loaded to use the virtio-vsock device. | |

| 33 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called | |

| 45 | ---help--- | |
| 46 | This option allows vhost to support guests with a different byte | |
| 47 | ordering from host while using legacy virtio. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | Userspace programs can control the feature using the | |
| 50 | VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN and VHOST_GET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctls. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | This is only useful on a few platforms (ppc64 and arm64). Since it | |
| 53 | adds some overhead, it is disabled by default. | |

| 55 | If unsure, say "N". |
