[PATCH v3 1/7] vfio/igd: return an invalid generation for unknown devices
Posted by Corvin Köhne 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Intel changes it's specification quite often e.g. the location and size
of the BDSM register has change for gen 11 devices and later. This
causes our emulation to fail on those devices. So, it's impossible for
us to use a suitable default value for unknown devices. Instead of
returning a random generation value and hoping that everthing works
fine, we should verify that different devices are working and add them
to our list of known devices.
