The branch main has been updated by tuexen: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=0b39d72d0491c77e3e9883015b1fac46663c71de commit 0b39d72d0491c77e3e9883015b1fac46663c71de Author: Timo Völker <timo.voelker@fh-muenster.de> AuthorDate: 2026-04-04 14:49:54 +0000 Commit: Michael Tuexen <tuexen@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-04-04 14:49:54 +0000 virtio: use modern mode for transitional device by default This patch changes the default value of the loader tunable hw.virtio.pci.transitional to 1. This means, virtio uses the modern mode for transitional devices by default. The return values of vtpci_modern_probe() and vtpci_legacy_probei() were chosen to prefer modern mode, but hw.virtio.pci.transitional=0 prevents modern mode. Setting hw.virtio.pci.transitional to 1 by default seems a better fit.
