Hi Greg,
Thanks for rebasing it.

A minor thing, disable-legacy is now auto/on/off.
If the user sets [disable-legacy=auto, disable-modern=on]
will not pass this test, but is possible that later on
will be enabled:
See virtio_pci_realize:
       if (proxy->disable_legacy == ON_OFF_AUTO_AUTO) {
          proxy->disable_legacy = pcie_port ? ON_OFF_AUTO_ON : ON_OFF_AUTO_OFF;
       }

On the the other hand, if the user sets disable-modern=on, is reasonable to ask
him to set disable-legacy to off.
