We'll add more non-normative sections with hints for
implementing registers such as PCI class, status and command registers. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> git-svn-id: https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/virtio@219 0c8fb4dd-22a2-4bb5-bc14-6c75a5f43652

Virtio devices are commonly implemented as PCI devices.
+A Virtio device can be implemented as any kind of PCI device:
+a Conventional PCI device, a PCI-X device or a PCI Express
+device. A Virtio device using Virtio Over PCI Bus MUST expose to
+guest an interface that meets the specification requirements of
+the appropriate PCI specification: \hyperref[intro:PCI]{[PCI]},
+\hyperref[intro:PCI-X]{[PCI-X]} and \hyperref[intro:PCIe]{[PCIe]}
+respectively. To assure designs meet the latest level
+requirements, designers of Virtio Over PCI devices must refer to
+the PCI-SIG home page at \url{http://www.pcisig.com} for any
+approved changes.
