Summary

This adds virtio modern support handling to bhyve.
pci_emul_add_capability is exposed to support PCIY_VENDOR-type
virtio modern capabilities.

Current virtio devices are slightly changed to adopt
vi_pci_cfgread/vi_pci_cfg_write.

Virtio modern is not exposed to device emulation code currently.

What's the state of this patch? Does it still works?

I was looking into getting virtio-input working for Linux guests which apparently do not support legacy virtio input devices.

I was able to rebase this patch onto a fresh -CURRENT, it wasn't particularly straightforward, so I'm not sure I did it properly.

Anyway, I was able to boot a Linux guest, and lspci shows these devices like:

        Kernel driver in use: virtio-pci

Virtio-input doesn't work still though:

kernel: virtio-pci 0000:00:06.0: virtio_pci: leaving for legacy driver

That's probably expected as in the original patch I don't see vc_en_modern and vc_hv_caps_modern set for the virtio-input.

When I update the code to set it, bhyve complains with:

vtinput: writing bad value to device_feature_select

Any hints how to update the virtio-input related bits?

FWIW, I pushed a rebased branch on github if somebody wants to experiment https://github.com/novel/freebsd-src/tree/D29708-rebase

Newer virtio has been implemented in Illumos https://www.illumos.org/issues/17767
