[RFC/PATCH 1/1] virtio: Introduce MMIO ops

How exactly are these ops hooked up? I'm envisaging something like:
ops = spec_compliant_ops;
[...]
if (firmware_says_hypervisor_is_buggy())
ops = magic_qcom_ops;
am I wrong?

Not looking good, and really defeats the point of standardising this stuff
imo.
