[Qemu-devel] [PULL 05/13] docs: pcie: Spell out machine type needs for PCIe features
Posted by Michael S. Tsirkin 7 years, 7 months ago
From: Kashyap Chamarthy <kchamart@redhat.com>

PCIe features are available only via the 'q35' machine type for x86 and
the 'virt' machine type for AArch64 architecture.

Mention that explicitly.

Thanks: Daniel Berrangé
