Modern virtio PCI is allowed to use both memory and I/O BARs for the config space, but legacy devices must use I/O for BAR0, as specified by Virtio v1.0 cs04: 4.1.5.1.1.1 Legacy Interface: A Note on Device Layout Detection "Transitional devices MUST expose the Legacy Interface in I/O space in BAR0." What virtio calls "I/O space" is most certainly port I/O, as hinted by the discussion in 4.1.4 Virtio Structure PCI Capabilities, where it distinguishes "memory BARs" from "I/O BARs". This is also the conclusion made by SeaBIOS [1], which only looks for port I/O in BAR0 when driving a transitional device. I think MMIO was made the default by a463650caad6 ("kvm tools: pci: add MMIO interface to virtio-pci devices") to support ARM targets, but we support PIO as well as MMIO nowadays. So let's make the legacy virtio implementation comply with the specification and use port I/O for BAR0.
