While we can't simply remove it right away, instead of mixing our
implementation for both legacy and new spec in the same code we can
split the virtio-pci implementation into two:

	- virtio/virtio-pci-legacy.c
	- virtio/virtio-pci.c

At that point we can #ifdef the entire virtio-pci-legacy.c for now and
remove it at the same time legacy virtio-pci is removed from the kernel.

I think this is something very similar to what you want done in the
kernel code, so an added plus is that the usermode code will be
mirroring the kernel code - which is something we try to have in the KVM
tool :)
