Hm. But we would need to keep virtio_set_features() where it is called
now for legacy devices, as they will never see FEATURES_OK, right? So
we need to make this depending on revisions (or whatever the equivalent
is for pci/mmio), as we cannot check for VERSION_1. Not sure whether
this makes the code easier to follow.
