...unless you're lucky enough to be on s390 where pio is not available.
I don't see why we'd have two different ways to talk to a virtio
device. I think we should use a hypercall for interrupt injection,
without support for grumpy old soldered pci features other than
HPA-style Lguest PCI bus organization. There are no devices that we
want to be backward compatible with.
