This patch mandates 1.0 for vDPA devices. The plan is never to support
transitional devices for vDPA devices in the future.

The reasons are:

- To have the semantic of normative statement in the virtio spec and
 eliminate the burden of transitional device for both vDPA bus and
 vDPA parent
- Eliminate the efforts for dealing with endian conversion in the
 management tool
- Mandate vDPA vendor to ship modern device instead of transitional
 device which is easily broken and unsafe
- Transitional device never work since the first day of vDPA
