Subject: [PATCH 04/11] transport-pci: Rename and move legacy PCI Device layout section


Current 'Legacy Interfaces: A Note on PCI Device Layout' explains virtio
legacy registers which consist of common configuration structure and
device specific registers. It has little to do with the existing
PCI Device layout section.

For example, non transitional device's common configuration layout is
described in 'Common configuration structure layout' section outside of
'PCI Device Layout' section.

Hence, to keep Legacy common configuration registers section consistent
with 1.x, rename and move it adjacent to 1.x common configuration
structure.

+Transitional devices MUST present part of configuration
+registers in a legacy configuration structure in BAR0 in the first I/O
+region of the PCI device, as documented below.
+When using the legacy interface, transitional drivers
+MUST use the legacy configuration structure in BAR0 in the first
+I/O region of the PCI device, as documented below.
+
+When using the legacy interface the driver MAY access
+the device-specific configuration region using any width accesses, and
+a transitional device MUST present driver with the same results as
+when accessed using the ``natural'' access method (i.e.
+32-bit accesses for 32-bit fields, etc).
+
+Note that this is possible because while the virtio common configuration structure is PCI
+(i.e. little) endian, when using the legacy interface the device-specific
+configuration region is encoded in the native endian of the guest (where such distinction is
+applicable).
+
+When used through the legacy interface, the virtio common configuration structure looks as follows:
+
+\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{ |X||X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X| }
+\hline
+ Bits & 32 & 32 & 32 & 16 & 16 & 16 & 8 & 8 \\
+\hline
+ Read / Write & R & R+W & R+W & R & R+W & R+W & R+W & R \\

+  Queue Address & \field{queue_size} & \field{queue_select} & Queue Notify &
+  Device Status & ISR \newline Status \\
+\hline
+\end{tabularx}

+If MSI-X is enabled for the device, two additional fields
+immediately follow this header:

+\hline
+Purpose (MSI-X) & \field{config_msix_vector}  & \field{queue_msix_vector} \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+
+Note: When MSI-X capability is enabled, device-specific configuration starts at
+byte offset 24 in virtio common configuration structure. When MSI-X capability is not
+enabled, device-specific configuration starts at byte offset 20 in virtio
+header.  ie. once you enable MSI-X on the device, the other fields move.
+If you turn it off again, they move back!
+
+Any device-specific configuration space immediately follows
+these general headers:
+
+\begin{tabular}{|l||l|l|}
