Or am I misunderstanding what you're getting at?
Probably. I'm talking about pre- "do transport specific legacy detection
in the device instead of looking at VERSION_1" you are probably talking
about the post-state. If we had this new behavior for all relevant
hypervisors then we wouldn't need to do a thing in the guest. The current
code would work like charm.
Yeah, I was thinking more about the desired state. We need to both fix
QEMU (and other VMMs or devices should check whether they are doing the
right thing) and add a workaround on the driver side to make it work
with existing QEMUs.
