From: Greg Kurz <gk...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Without presuming if we got there because of a user mistake or some more subtle bug in the tooling, it really does not make sense to implement a non-functional device.

I've kept the R-b tags, please raise a flag if this is inapropriate. I've dropped the other patch about virtio-9p: the issue will be addressed in a separate series. --- hw/virtio/virtio-pci.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/hw/virtio/virtio-pci.c b/hw/virtio/virtio-pci.c index 268fd8ebb219..551c4346bf4b 100644 --- a/hw/virtio/virtio-pci.c +++ b/hw/virtio/virtio-pci.c @@ -1770,6 +1770,14 @@ static void virtio_pci_realize(PCIDevice *pci_dev, Error **errp) proxy->disable_legacy = pcie_port ?
