happens in virtio-net Linux driver.
Could you now simplify the tests in virtio_net_announce() and
virtio_net_post_load_device() to look only for the presence of
GUEST_ANNOUNCE, given that you can now presume that it implies CTRL_VQ?
That's a good question. As far as I know qemu emits an error if only
GUEST_ANNOUNCE is given in a purely emulated device.
At this moment vhost-kernel and vhost-vdpa do not handle it, but
vhost-user do. Would it be beneficial to preserve previous behavior
and passthrough the features? I guess not, so I think we could
simplify those functions on top of this series.
But anyway:

Thanks for the review!
This may be solved differently in the future. Qemu is able to emulate a
CVQ just for guest_announce purposes, helping guest to notify the new
location with vDPA devices that does not support it. However, this is
left as a TODO as it is way more complex to backport.
Tested with vdpa_net_sim, toggling manually VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ in the
driver and migrating it with x-svq=on.
