Why is the virtio-mmio implementation of the protocol a library,
instead of a driver binary?
The UEFI driver model would encourage to create a virtio-mmio driver
instead of a library. But the reasons why I created a library are:
- A virtio-mmio driver would imply an additional protocol that would
probably have a single attribute field:
typedef struct {
PHYSICAL_ADDRESS BaseAddress;
} VIRTIO_MMIO_DEVICE_PROTOCOL;
- There is no (easy) way to scan the available VirtIo devices on a
platform. So, the UEFI firmware for this platform would need a driver
to produce instances for every virtio devices it wants to expose in
UEFI. A single call to a helper library (ie: VirtioMmioDeviceLib)
make the porting easier.

v5:
- typo fix in VirtioMmioInstallDevice() comment block
- plug MmioDevice leak in VirtioMmioUninstallDevice()
- return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER in VirtioMmioGetQueueAddress() if
QueueAddress is NULL
- VirtioMmioSetQueueSize(): fix return value (it's a status code)
- VirtioMmioSetPageSize(): check against EFI_PAGE_SIZE with "if" plus
EFI_UNSUPPORTED, rather than ASSERT()
- VirtioMmioDeviceWrite(), VirtioMmioDeviceRead(): remove redundant
(FieldSize > 8) checks
- VirtioMmioDeviceLib.inf: drop UefiDriverEntryPoint library dependency
