With -device you can switch devices into compat mode by simply setting 
the attribute.  Doesn't work (yet) because you can't create functional 
virtio console+block devices via -device right now.  I'll plan to have 
that fixed at least for virtio blk soon though.  For virtio-net this can 
be done today (-net nic,model=virtio,vectors=0 turns off msi).

So IMHO there is no need in keeping the device types and the patch 
should be applied.
