I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
VIRTIO-145: pci: configuration access capability rules are unclear
--------------------------------------
Specification merely says PCI config access capability
aliases a device BAR. This seems to allow config access to
legacy BAR (for transitional devices) but how should device
interpret such an access?
--------------------------------------
The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
The point of the configuration access capability is to enable
access to other capabilities. The intent never was to allow
writes to a random place within device BARs.
Limiting drivers simplifies devices - and devices can always
add another capability if drivers ever want to access
some other range.

--------------------------------------
The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio 1.0 cs04", and future versions of the
specification.

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
