[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5] virtio-pci: enable bus master for old guests

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

commit cc943c36faa192cd4b32af8fe5edb31894017d35
    pci: Use bus master address space for delivering MSI/MSI-X messages
breaks virtio-net for rhel6.[56] x86 guests because they don't
enable bus mastering for virtio PCI devices. For the same reason,
rhel6.[56] ppc64 guests cannot boot on a virtio-blk disk anymore.

Old guests forgot to enable bus mastering, enable it automatically on
DRIVER (guests use some devices before DRIVER_OK).

Sorry, v4 was broken - forgot to commit before git format-patch.
Here's the correct version.
Still not tested - will do next week.
Testing reports appreciated meanwhile.
