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
