6 This kernel module can be loaded in host kernel to accelerate
7 guest networking with virtio_net. Not to be confused with virtio_net
8 module itself which needs to be loaded in guest kernel.

29 This kernel module can be loaded in the host kernel to provide AF_VSOCK
30 sockets for communicating with guests. The guests must have the
31 virtio_transport.ko driver loaded to use the virtio-vsock device.

46 This option allows vhost to support guests with a different byte
47 ordering from host while using legacy virtio.
48
49 Userspace programs can control the feature using the
50 VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN and VHOST_GET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctls.

52 This is only useful on a few platforms (ppc64 and arm64). Since it
53 adds some overhead, it is disabled by default.

55 If unsure, say "N".
