virtio: acknowledge all features before access
The feature negotiation was designed in a way that
makes it possible for devices to know which config
fields will be accessed by drivers.
This is broken since commit 404123c ("virtio: allow drivers to
validate features") with fallout in at least block and net. We have a
partial work-around in commit 2f9a174 ("virtio: write back
F_VERSION_1 before validate") which at least lets devices find out which
format should config space have, but this is a partial fix: guests
should not access config space without acknowledging features since
otherwise we'll never be able to change the config space format.
To fix, split finalize_features from virtio_finalize_features and
call finalize_features with all feature bits before validation,
and then - if validation changed any bits - once again after.
Since virtio_finalize_features no longer writes out features
rename it to virtio_features_ok - since that is what it does:
checks that features are ok with the device.
As a side effect, this also reduces the amount of hypervisor accesses -
we now only acknowledge features once unless we are clearing any
features when validating (which is uncommon).
IRC I think that this was more or less always the intent in the spec but
unfortunately the way the spec is worded does not say this explicitly, I
plan to address this at the spec level, too.
