[Xen-devel] [PATCH 07/16] SUPPORT.md: Add virtual devices common to ARM and x86

[George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mostly PV protocols.

Signed-off-by: George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>

The xl side of this seems a bit incomplete: There are a number of
things supported but not mentioned (like networking, &c), and a number
of things not in xl (PV SCSI).  Couldn't find evidence of pvcall or pv
keyboard support.  Also we seem to be missing "PV channels" from this
list entirely
