+<span class="maintainers">Maintained by [@mkroening](https://github.com/mkroening)</span>
+
+The `virtio-spec` crate provides definitions from the Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) specification.

+We merged the following PRs this month:
+
+- [fix(pci): capabilities are always little-endian](https://github.com/rust-osdev/virtio-spec-rs/pull/7)
+- [fix(pci): actually convert MMIO access to little endian](https://github.com/rust-osdev/virtio-spec-rs/pull/8)

+
+The `x86_64` crate provides various abstractions for `x86_64` systems, including wrappers for CPU instructions, access to processor-specific registers, and abstraction types for architecture-specific structures such as page tables and descriptor tables.
