I wonder whether it's easier to just support modern device?

Thanks

Well hardware vendors are I think interested in supporting legacy
guests. Limiting vdpa to modern only would make it uncompetitive.

My understanding is that, IOMMU_PLATFORM is mandatory for hardware vDPA 
to work. So it can only work for modern device ...
