-multiple errors: Non-transitional With Legacy
-
-virtio 1.0 has two sections titled "Non-transitional Device With
-Legacy Driver" the first says devices SHOULD fail, the second
-says devices MUST fail. Clearly a mistake.
-
-Other issues: devices don't really fail - they cause drivers to
-fail. second section seems to be in the wrong place, and also
-have a section followed by subsection with no explanatory text in
-between, which is ugly.
-Finally, this text was originally ritten to handle buggy windows
-drivers gracefully, but later we changed device IDs so it's not
-really required there. Might be handy for some other buggy legacy
-drivers, though no such drivers are known.

-To fix, drop the duplicate section variant, add some explanatory

-that the work-around is only needed if a buggy driver
-is known to bind to a transitional device.

-balloon: transitional device support
-
-Support a transitional balloon device: this has the advantage of supporting
-existing drivers, transparently, as well as transports that don't allow mixing
-virtio 0 and virtio 1 devices. And balloon is an easy device to test, so it's
-also useful for people to test virtio core handling of transitional devices.
-
-Three issues with legacy hypervisors have been identified:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item
-Actual value is actually used, and is necessary for management
-to work. Luckily 4 byte config space writes are now atomic.
-When using old guests, hypervisors can detect access to the last byte.
-When using old hypervisors, drivers can use atomic 4-byte accesses.
-\item Hypervisors actually didn't ignore the stats from the first
-buffer supplied. This means the values there would be
-incorrect until hypervisor resends the request.
-Add a note suggesting hypervisors ignore the 1st buffer.
-\item QEMU simply over-writes stats from each buffer it gets.
-Thus if driver supplies a different subset of stats
-on each request, stale values will be there.
-Require drivers to supply the same subset on each
-request. This also gives us a simple way to figure out
-which stats are supported.
