This driver implements the VIRTIO_DEVICE_PROTOCOL for non-transitional PCI
devices, based on the virtio-1.0 specification (csprd05). Non-transitional
means that it only binds QEMU's virtio-xxx-pci devices that receive the
",disable-legacy=on,disable-modern=off" properties on the QEMU command
line. These devices have distinct PCI Device IDs from those that are bound
by VirtioPciDeviceDxe.
The central abstraction of this driver is the VIRTIO_1_0_CONFIG type. It
is practically a "fat pointer" to a register block. The pointed-to
register block
- may or may not exist (the latter being mostly useful for virtio-1.0
devices that have no device-specific registers),
- lives in one of the device's BARs,
- lives in an IO or MMIO BAR,
- lives at an offset relative to the BAR start,
- has its size also maintained.
Such VIRTIO_1_0_CONFIG "fat pointers" (i.e., the locations of the register
blocks) are parsed from vendor capabilities that reside in the device's
standard PCI capabilities list (in PCI config space).
