- Includes the Virtual Generic device
+ Includes the virtual generic device. This device allows you
+ to see guest I/O port and memory region interaction with a physical
+ device on the underlying hardware, as well as to ignore such
+ interaction. The generic device also serves as a front-end
+ device for non-PCI host-based virtual device implementations. If
+ you want to handle either host-based virtual or physical devices
+ that are not PCI devices, this is what you want. If you want
+ to handle a host-based virtual device that is a PCI device, you
+ want to use the PCI front-end device. If you want to handle
+ a physical PCI device, you want the passthrough PCI device.
