This patchset intends to decouple existing quirks from legacy mode.
Currently all quirks depends on legacy mode (except x-igd-opregion),
which includes following conditions:
* Machine type is i440fx
* IGD device is at guest BDF 00:02.0
* VBIOS in ROM BAR or file
* VGA IO/MMIO ranges are claimed by IGD
* OpRegion
* Same LPC bridge and Host bridge VID/DID/SVID/SSID as host
If one of the condition is not met, the quirks will not be applied.
However, for recent generations, espcially Gen 11+ devices that removed
VBIOS support, not all the conditions are required. For example, on EFI-
based systems, VBIOS ROM is unnecessary, and VGA ranges are not used.
To have better support on newer UEFI-based VMs, this patchset makes the
quirks independent of legacy mode. The BDSM and GGC register quirks are
applied to all supported IGD devices, new x-igd-lpc option for the LPC
bridge / Host bridge ID quirk is introduced for possible Q35 support.
It also prepares for supporting IGD passthrough when it is not primary
display later (kernel change will be merged in 6.15).
To maintain backward compatbility with exising configuration, legacy
mode will automatically be enabled when:
* Machine type is i440fx
* IGD device is at guest BDF 00:02.0
If the legacy mode behavior is unwanted, option x-igd-legacy-mode=off
is provided for users to disable it.
Note that a major difference is that instead of simply continues, legacy
mode will now fail immediately on error, this may break functionality,
but the impact should be low as IGD passthrough is not working, and
there would be no display output if it fails halfway.
The first 2 patches of this patchset was taken from a previous one,
details can be found at:

This patchest was mainly tested on Alder Lake UHD770, with Debian 12
(kernel 6.1), Windows 11 (driver 32.0.101.6458) and Intel GOP driver
17.0.1081.
Btw, documentation change would be added after everyone considers the
proposed change is okay.
Changelog:
v2:
* Keep legacy mode for compatbility
* Renamed from "vfio/igd: Remove legacy mode"

QEMU 10.0 soft-freeze is next week. I plan to send a PR at the end
of this week.
Thanks,
