virtio: add API to detect legacy devices
transports need to be able to detect legacy-only devices (ATM balloon only) to use legacy path to drive them. Add a core API to do just that. The implementation just blacklists balloon: not too pretty, but let's not over-engineer. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Acked-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>
