We try to harden virtio device notifications in 8b4ec69d7e ("virtio:
harden vring IRQ"). It works with the assumption that the driver or
core can properly call virtio_device_ready() at the right
place. Unfortunately, this seems to be not true and uncover various
bugs of the existing drivers, mainly the issue of using
virtio_device_ready() incorrectly.
So let's add a Kconfig option and disable it by default. It gives
us time to fix the drivers and then we can consider re-enabling it.

This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting

both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.

If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,

with no legacy compatibility.
|

So look out into your driveway. Do you have a flying car? If
|
|
so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
|
|
break. Otherwise, leave it set. Unless you're testing what
|
|
life will be like in The Future.
