x86/virt: Add enum for hypervisors to replace x86_hyper

2017-11-10T09:03:12+00:00

The x86_hyper pointer is only used for checking whether a virtual
device is supporting the hypervisor the system is running on.

Use an enum for that purpose instead and drop the x86_hyper pointer.

Input: vmmouse - remove port reservation

2016-06-24T00:41:18+00:00

The VMWare EFI BIOS will expose port 0x5658 as an ACPI resource.  This
causes the port to be reserved by the APCI module as the system comes up,
making it unavailable to be reserved again by other drivers, thus
preserving this VMWare port for special use in a VMWare guest.

This port is designed to be shared among multiple VMWare services, such as
the VMMOUSE.  Because of this, VMMOUSE should not try to reserve this port
on its own.

The VMWare non-EFI BIOS does not do this to preserve compatibility with
existing/legacy VMs.  It is known that there is small chance a VM may be
configured such that these ports get reserved by other non-VMWare devices,
and if this ever happens, the result is undefined.

Input: vmmouse - fix absolute device registration

2016-01-28T00:03:30+00:00

We should set device's capabilities first, and then register it,
otherwise various handlers already present in the kernel will not be
able to connect to the device.

Input: add vmmouse driver

2015-04-14T21:29:03+00:00

VMMouse enables low-latency mouse-cursor-movements for VMWare and QEMU
guests.  By removing the guest cursor and using the host as a guest cursor
the cursor movement appears instant although in reality there is some lag.
To be able to do this, the host's view of the cursor position must exactly
match the guest's view and an absolute pointer device is needed. Enter the
VMMouse. While the VMMouse driver has historically been an Xorg user-space
driver, implementing it as a kernel imput driver enables rootless Xorg and
new compositing display servers for VMware guests.
