The patch will most likely be part of the next kernel release, 6.7. As
for the control support, read on:

The feature is part of the 1.3 version of the VIRTIO spec which is
still in a Committee Specification Draft phase. You can find that the
latest version of the VIRTIO spec is 1.2 here:
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php

I believe it will take some time for both 1.3 to be approved and
afterwards patches for the kernel must be published and reviewed,
which will take some cycles as well. So I'd suggest you not to count
on control capabilities at the moment, unfortunately.
