[PATCH 1/2] spapr: Disable legacy virtio devices for pseries-5.0 and later

[David Gibson]

PAPR specifies a kind of odd, paravirtualized PCI bus, which looks to
the guess mostly like classic PCI, even if some of the individual
devices on the bus are PCI Express.  One consequence of that is that
virtio-pci devices still default to being in transitional mode, though
legacy mode is now disabled by default on current q35 x86 machine
types.

Legacy mode virtio devices aren't really necessary any more, and are
causing some problems for future changes.  Therefore, for the
pseries-5.0 machine type (and onwards), switch to modern-only
virtio-pci devices by default.
