yes, a real card. But you said it supports 0.95, 1.0 and 1.1 guests,
so this is what the virtio spec calls a transitional device, right?
To simplify transition from these earlier draft interfaces,
a device MAY implement:
\begin{description}
\item[Transitional Device]
a device supporting both drivers conforming to this
specification, and allowing legacy drivers.
\end{description}
or did I misunderstand?
