This is a PCI device that implements a transport for virtio.  It allows virtio
devices to be used by QEMU based VMMs like KVM or Xen.

+	  This drivers provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
+	  drivers over PCI.  This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
+	  virtio backends.  Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
+	  (like KVM or Xen).
+
+	  Currently, the ABI is not considered stable so there is no guarantee
+	  that this version of the driver will work with your VMM.
+
+	  If unsure, say M.
