I seem to have lost the wiki login/password.

        For virtio-pci, Virtio 1 mode can now be enabled by specifying
        disable-modern=false. To suppress the legacy interface and
        create a non-transitional device, specify disable-legacy=true
        additionally. All devices support this mode.

        This support is still experimental: it functions fine in normal
        usage and so should be appropriate for guest driver development, but 
there
        are known issues around migration, guest out of memory handling, and
        performance.

        When used with virtio 1, virtio blk no longer supports scsi
        command passthrough. Please use virtio scsi instead.
