[PATCH] multiple errors: Non-transitional With Legacy

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

virtio 1.0 has two sections titled "Non-transitional Device With
Legacy Driver" the first says devices SHOULD fail, the second
says devices MUST fail.  Clearly a mistake.

Other issues: devices don't really fail - they cause drivers to
fail. second section seems to be in the wrong place, and also
have a section followed by subsection with no explanatory text in
between, which is ugly.
Finally, this text was originally ritten to handle buggy windows
drivers gracefully, but later we changed device IDs so it's not
really required there. Might be handy for some other buggy legacy
drivers, though no such drivers are known.

To fix, drop the duplicate section variant, add some explanatory
text, clarify what does "same ID" mean here, and clarify
that the work-around is only needed if a buggy driver
is known to bind to a transitional device.

I think this is non-material, proposing this for cs03.
