Linus Torvalds 0644f186fc virtio: fixups
Latest header update will break QEMU (if it's rebuilt with the new
 header) - and it seems that the code there is so fragile that any change
 in this header will break it.  Add a better interface so users do not
 need to change their code every time that header changes.
 
 Fix virtio console for spec compliance.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
