Actually, ccw defaulted to transitional devices right back when we
introduced support for virtio-1 - starting with QEMU 2.5.

I'm not sure how many (if any) supported guest OSs (various variants of
Linux) support virtio-ccw devices in legacy mode only. We can probably
neglect that issue, but I would not really complain if someone
submitted a patch to optionally turn off legacy support for ccw.
