OvmfPkg/VirtioMmioDeviceLib: Implement VIRTIO_DEVICE_PROTOCOL for VirtIo Devices over MMIO
Why is the virtio-mmio implementation of the protocol a library, instead of a driver binary? The UEFI driver model would encourage to create a virtio-mmio driver instead of a library. But the reasons why I created a library are: - A virtio-mmio driver would imply an additional protocol that would probably have a single attribute field: typedef struct { PHYSICAL_ADDRESS BaseAddress; } VIRTIO_MMIO_DEVICE_PROTOCOL; - There is no (easy) way to scan the available VirtIo devices on a platform. So, the UEFI firmware for this platform would need a driver to produce instances for every virtio devices it wants to expose in UEFI. A single call to a helper library (ie: VirtioMmioDeviceLib) make the porting easier.
