[PATCH RFC] virtio-fs: force virtio 1.x usage

[Cornelia Huck <cohuck@redhat.com>]

virtio-fs devices are only specified for virtio-1, so it is unclear
how a legacy or transitional device should behave.

Forcing off legacy now (after the virtio-fs device has already been
available) may have unintended consequences, therefore RFC.

By default, a virtio-pci device uses 'AUTO' for disable_legacy, which
will resolve to different values based upon which bus the device has
been plugged. Therefore, forcing disable_legacy may result in the same
device or a quite different one.

Even though pre-virtio-1 behaviour of virtio-fs devices is simply not
specified, toggling disable_legacy will have implications for the BAR
layout, IIRC, and therefore a guest might end up getting a different
device, even if it always used it with virtio-1 anyway.

Not sure what the best way to solve this problem is. Adding a compat
property for disable_legacy=AUTO may be the right thing to do, but I'm
not quite clear if there are any further implications here.

Whatever we do here, we should make sure that the ccw incarnation of
this device indeed forces virtio-1.
