However, use of PCI IO space (aka PIO) is long deprecated, and can be awkward to use on some systems (for example IBM pSeries machines typically have many PCI domains, and not all firmware/hypervisor versions necessarily support PCI PIO access on all domains). Therefore, it would be preferable for the virtio virtual PCI device to advertise a PCI memory space (aka MMIO) BAR and have configuration done through this interface instead. This can be done backwards compatibly by advertising the MMIO BAR in addition to the existing PIO BAR so that the guest driver can choose whichever interface. In anticipation of adding such an MMIO BAR to virtio host-side implementations (e.g. qemu), this patch updates the Linux virtio-pci driver to attempt to use BAR 2 (which will be MMIO) in preference to the existing PIO BAR 0.
