Subject: [PATCH] virtio_pci: add an option to disable legacy driver

Useful for testing device virtio 1 compatibility.
Based on patch by Rusty - couldn't resist putting
that flying car joke in there!

+          Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
+
+	  This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
+	  both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
+	  If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
+	  with no legacy compatibility.
+
+          So look out into your driveway.  Do you have a flying car?  If
+          so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
+          break.  Otherwise, leave it set.  Unless you're testing what
