[PATCH 2/2] virtio: pci: add support for transitional devices

So far, barebox required that Virt I/O devices it consumes are
parameterized with pci,disable-legacy=on. Otherwise, it bails out with:

  Legacy and transitional devices unsupported

because only modern (specification >= v1.0) devices were supported.

By default, Qemu provides its guests with transitional virtio-pci
devices: These enumerate like legacy devices, but implement the bars of
both legacy and modern devices. Add support for transitional device, so
pci,disable-legacy=on is not required any longer. we still leave
pci,disable-modern=off in the scripts, but it should not be needed with
any recent Qemu version.

-Note the use of ``disable-legacy=on``. barebox doesn't support legacy
-or transitional VirtIO devices. Some versions of QEMU may need to
-have ``,disable-modern=off`` specfied as well.
+Note that barebox does not support non-transitional legacy Virt I/O devices.
+Depending on QEMU version used, it may be required to add
+``disable-legacy=on``, ``disable-modern=off`` or both, e.g.::
+
+  	-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=hd1,disable-legacy=on,disable-modern=off
