[PATCH] virtio-vga: fix virtio-vga bar ordering

[Anthoine Bourgeois]

With virtio-vga, pci bar are reordered. Bar #2 is used for compatibility
with stdvga. By default, bar #2 is used by virtio modern io bar.
This bar is the last one introduce in the virtio pci bar layout and it's
crushed by the virtio-vga reordering. So virtio-vga and
modern-pio-notify are incompatible because virtio-vga failed to
initialize with this option.

This fix exchange the modern io bar with the modern memory bar,
replacing the msix bar that is never impacted anyway.

Such changes generally need to be tied to machine version.

Given that modern-pio-notify is off by default and
virtio-vga,modern-pio-notify=on is broken I think we don't need to worry
about compatibility in this specific case (assuming the patch is updated
to not shuffle around the msix bar, see other reply).

OK, just worth documenting that this will break cross-version
migration if modern-pio-notify is enabled.

Well, msix was placed in bar 4 intentionally.  That keeps bar 1 (default
msix location) free, so we have the option to turn bar 0 (vga compat
vram) into a 64bit bar without shuffling around things.

Please don't.

We can use bar 5 instead.

Alternatively just throw an error saying that modern-pio-notify is not
supported.

Separate patch please.  Also worth noting that the modern io bar is off
by default.

That's a really good reason I didn't think of.
Just a question, why didn't we choose the virtio-vga order to avoid
shuffling from the beginning? Vga came after and we keep the
compatibility ?

As you like. I sent a v2 with modern_io_bar_idx to 5 but I can do a v3
with an error thrown.

Done.

  Hi,

Well, transitional virtio devices need bar 0 for legacy virtio
compatibility (io bar), so using bar 1 for msix makes sense in that
case.

virtio-vga is new enough that it supports modern only so it doesn't need
to worry about legacy virtio compatibility.  It does have to worry about
vga compatibility though.  Therefore it uses a bar layout different from
anyone else ...
