[PATCH 1/2] virito: introduce methods of fixing device features

[Jason Wang]

Buggy host may advertised buggy host features (a usual case is that host
advertise a feature whose dependencies were missed). In this case, driver
should detect and disable the buggy features by itself.

This patch introduces driver specific fix_features() method which is called
just before features finalizing to detect and disable buggy features
advertised by host.

Virtio-net will be the first user.

[PATCH 2/2] virtio-net: fix buggy features advertised by host

[Jason Wang]

This patch tries to detect the possible buggy features advertised by host
and fix them. One example is current booting virtio-net with only
ctrl_vq disabled, qemu may still advertise many features which depends
it. This will trigger several BUG()s in virtnet_send_command().

This patch utilizes the fix_features() method, and disable all features that
depends on ctrl_vq if it was not advertised.

This fixes the crash when booting with ctrl_vq=off.

Can we use a feature array and check with one loop?  The current check looks so dup?

Yes for sure. I will wait a little bit for the maintainers comment and
do it in next version.

That's a qemu device property, right? Might want to mention that, as
this line sounds like it is a kernel parameter.

You should probably use dev_warn() or so, so that the user can figure
