The validation is disabled for legacy device (as stated in the changelog):

static bool vring_needs_used_validation(const struct virtio_device *vdev)
{
        /*
         * Several legacy devices are known to produce buggy used
         * length. In order to let driver work, we won't validate used
         * buffer length in this case.
         */
        if (!virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1))
                return false;
        if (force_used_validation)
                return true;
        return false;
}

This seems to be what we've agreed in last version:

Yes, but it is the job that is done in the driver level not the virtio
core. Validation in virtio core is still necessary since they're
working at different levels and it's hard to force the validation in
all drivers by codes. Last version introduces a
suppress_driver_validation to allow the driver to suppress the core
validation which seems not good, we need a way to force the
virtio_ring code to do validation before. Or such stuff could be added
on top since the validation is by default anyway.
