Ok now I get what you mean, and yes we may modify the patches in that direction.
But if we go then we need to modify how qemu ack the features, because
the features that are not in vdpa_feature_bits are not acked to the
device. More on this later.

That's useful for _F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE, but we need to ack _F_STATUS for
the device if it supports it. QEMU cannot detect by itself when the
link is not up. I think that setting unconditionally
VIRTIO_NET_S_LINK_UP is actually a regression, since the guest cannot
detect the link down that way.
To enable _F_STATUS unconditionally is only done in the case the
device does not support it, because its emulation is very easy. That
way we support _F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE in all cases without device's
cooperation.
Having said that, should we go the opposite route and ack _F_STATE as
long as the device supports it? As an advantage, all backends should
support that at this moment, isn't it?
