It is just really.... odd that you are storing an attribute that can
have one of two possible values as a bitmap. Unless you have some
specific future plan for that, it really should just be stored as, well,
the value itself.


Both can be set at the same time.

I was thinking it would be useful for libvirt to understand both if
someone wants to migrate from a newer libvirt version. But to be useful,
they would need to have a QEMU that supports a machine type that does
not have 0.9+1.0 as the default and they are using it with an old
libvirt, so it probably does not make sense.

I still have the single-attribute version on a branch, I could revert
back to that.

(Maybe your idea is to maybe someday allow forcing support for both? If
so, then how about an enum value called "ALL" that gets turned into
"disable-legacy=off,disable-modern=off"?)

ALL meaning all the revisions supported by current libvirt does not
seem like a good idea to me - if a new version comes along, do we
include it in there or not?

And beyond storing it in a bitmap, why do you invent *yet another* name
for these things.

I was hoping to amuse the reader.

It was confusing enough that virtio 0.9 is also known
as "legacy", and 1.0 as "modern", but now you've come up with a 3rd way
to say the same thing. I would suggest giving them the same names as the
strings that they represent:

    VIR_DOMAIN_VIRTIO_REVISION_0_9
    VIR_DOMAIN_VIRTIO_REVISION_1_0


Okay :(
