[PATCH RFC] virtio-pci: add MMIO property
Currently virtio-pci is specified so that configuration of the device is
done through a PCI IO space (via BAR 0 of the virtual PCI device).
However, Linux guests happen to use ioread/iowrite/iomap primitives
for access, and these work uniformly across memory/io BARs.
While PCI IO accesses are faster than MMIO on x86 kvm,
MMIO might be helpful on other systems which don't
implement PIO or
