We discussing future driver versions running on future qemu versions,
so we should have virtio 1.0 support on both ends. So IMO the question
isn't that silly ...
But by default qemu uses transitional by default for non-express
devices, i.e. for all i440fx machines types. Which implies virtio-
legacy compatible pci ids.
If we want change this we need a transitional/modern virtio config
switch. Not only in qemu, but for the whole management stack too.
I don't think it is a good idea to go that route.
cheers,
Gerd
