Neuron is a device-sharing framework which is used by guests of the
haven hypervisor to serve or access shared I/O devices and other
inter-VM services.
There are three main layers that make up a neuron service.
channel - the physical layer transport that uses the hypervisor
provided transports.
protocol - defines the syntax and semantics to virtualize a specific
device across VMs. Block and Net are examples of protocols.
application - integrates the neuron service components into the rest of
the system. There would be front and back end application
drivers for the net protocol.

This option enables the Neuron device-sharing framework. It is used
|
|
by guests of the haven hypervisors to serve or access shared I/O
|
|
devices and other inter-VM services. The Neuron framework is composed
|
|
of three buses that represent different layers in the framework
|
|
(channel, protocol, application).

This option enables a platform driver that can construct a Neuron
|
|
service stack from a description in a device tree. The device tree
|
|
node should contain a channel, application and protocol subnode.
|
|
Multiple services can run on a system.
