While the Linux driver for virtio media is currently under active
development and review [1], the VirtIO v1.4 specification has
already been published and oficially defines the media device type [2].

Adding the device ID now allows other components and tools to reference it
before the driver lands, and ensures the kernel headers stay aligned
with the specification.
