I missed it, and see others have been added in the Virtio spec
repository (BTW, I see this specific one is missing in the dependency
list [0], I will submit a patch).

I wonder if it is not just simpler to just check for
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ is requested. As we fail instead of masking out,
the VDUSE driver won't be the one violating the spec so it should be
good?

It will avoid having to update the mask if new features depending on it
are added (or forgetting to update it).

WDYT?

Thanks,
Maxime
