Looks very reasonable. I'm a bit wary of send_command() being
synchronous, but it probably makes sense.

Could do with some details in the commit log as to why this approach was
chosen over increasing virtio_net_config.

I'd like to see this defined in virtio_net_hdr.

Why the need for class/cmd? Why not just a single 16 bit command field?

BUG_ON() probably makes more sense here.

Could be all on one line:

        return ctrl_status ? -EFAULT : 0;
