[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 1/7] virtio: relax feature check

[Greg Kurz]

Unlike with add and clear, there is no valid reason to abort when checking
for a feature. It makes more sense to return false (i.e. the feature bit
isn't set). This is exactly what __virtio_has_feature() does if fbit >= 32.

This allows to introduce code that is aware about new 64-bit features like
VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1, even if they are still not implemented.
