Both ways should be possible: write a driver for both old and new specs,
and write a device for both old and new specs.

In both cases, the differences between old and new specs should be
ideally hidden in the virtio layer, or more precisely in the virtio
transport layer.  The virtio devices and drivers themselves should be
unaffected.
