Current 'Legacy Interfaces: A Note on PCI Device Layout' explains virtio
legacy registers which consist of common configuration structure and
device specific registers. It has little to do with the existing
PCI Device layout section.
For example, non transitional device's common configuration layout is
described in 'Common configuration structure layout' section outside of
'PCI Device Layout' section.
Hence, to keep Legacy common configuration registers section consistent
with 1.x, rename and move it adjacent to 1.x common configuration
structure.

+Transitional devices MUST present part of configuration

+region of the PCI device, as documented below.

+
+When using the legacy interface the driver MAY access

+when accessed using the ``natural'' access method (i.e.
+32-bit accesses for 32-bit fields, etc).
+
+Note that this is possible because while the virtio common configuration
structure is PCI
+(i.e. little) endian, when using the legacy interface the device-specific
+configuration region is encoded in the native endian of the guest (where such
distinction is
+applicable).

structure looks as follows:

is not
