6. Any other business.


Cornelia: virtio-ccw - can it be included in spec?
Rusty - sure just post a patch.

Rusty sumarized some of the mailing list discussions.
Rusty: ATM there are ongoing discussions on endian-ness.
Proposal: if we can't make everything LE, make it per transport.
MST: everything per-transport? Or just the ring?
Rusty: only ring is data-path, need to be careful wrt performance there.
Cornelia: Config space - should be OK for it to be little endian
(conditional on spec 1.0 compliance feature bit being acknowledged,
naturally).
Rusty is working on an lguest prototype for BE.

7. Confirmation of meeting schedule.

Next meeting in two weeks time.
