Not a QEMU developer so forgive me if I say something silly, but IIUC
you'd be able to opt into the new feature by using eg.

  -device virtio-net-device,modern=on

However, virtio-pci devices already have a mechanism to control the
VirtIO protocol version, where you use

  -device virtio-net-pci,disable-modern=no,disable-legacy=yes

to get a VirtIO 1.x-only device and

  -device virtio-net-pci,disable-modern=no,disable-legacy=no

for a transitional device.

Can you please make sure virtio-mmio uses the existing interface
instead of introducing a new one?
