This is a layering violation.  There are transport specific features and 
device specific features.  The virtio-net device should have no 
knowledge or nack'ing ability for transport features.

If you need to change transport features, it suggests you're modeling 
things incorrectly and should be supplying an alternative transport 
implementation.
