Linux Virtualization - Jul 2013 - [RFC PATCH v2] Adapter interrupts for virtio-ccw.

Hi,

here's again my proposal for adapter (thin) interrupt support for virtio-ccw
devices, originally posted at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-virtualization&m=137060143904927&w=2

The document is unchanged, only rebased against current master.

Cornelia Huck (1):
  virtio-ccw: Document adapter interrupts.
