      SHOULD variant is the one that should stay I think:
      known buggy drivers are old windows
      drivers, and they happen to match on device
      id, so they won't try to drive the device.
      we might want to weaken this to CAN in virtio 1.1
      as well, but this needs more review.

      Description

      virtio 1.0 has two sections titled
      Non-transitional Device With Legacy Driver
      the first says devices SHOULD fail, the second
      says devices MUST fail.
      Other issues: devices don't really fail - they cause drivers to fail. second section seems to be in the wrong place, and also have a section followed by subsection with no explanatory text in between.
      finally, this text was originally ritten to handle buggy windows drivers gracefully, but later we changed device IDs so it's not really required there. Might be handy for some other buggy legacy drivers, though no such drivers are known.
