The existing comments for transport features are outdated.
So update them to address the latest changes in the spec.

There is a new feature bit allocated in virtio spec to
support SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization):
https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/11
This patch enables the support for this feature bit in
virtio driver.

The interaction between virtio and IOMMUs is messy.
On most systems with virtio, physical addresses match bus addresses,
and it doesn't particularly matter which one we use to program
the device.
On some systems, including Xen and any system with a physical device
that speaks virtio behind a physical IOMMU, we must program the IOMMU
for virtio DMA to work at all.
On other systems, including SPARC and PPC64, virtio-pci devices are
enumerated as though they are behind an IOMMU, but the virtio host
ignores the IOMMU, so we must either pretend that the IOMMU isn't
there or somehow map everything as the identity.
Add a feature bit to detect that quirk: VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.
Any device with this feature bit set to 0 needs a quirk and has to be
passed physical addresses (as opposed to bus addresses) even though
the device is behind an IOMMU.
Note: it has to be a per-device quirk because for example, there could
be a mix of passed-through and virtual virtio devices. As another
example, some devices could be implemented by an out of process
hypervisor backend (in case of qemu vhost, or vhost-user) and so support
for an IOMMU needs to be coded up separately.
It would be cleanest to handle this in IOMMU core code, but that needs
per-device DMA ops. While we are waiting for that to be implemented, use
a work-around in virtio core.
Note: a "noiommu" feature is a quirk - add a wrapper to make
that clear.

The VIRTIO 1.0 specification added the DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET device status
bit in "VIRTIO-98: Add DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET". This patch defines the
device status bit in the uapi header file so that both the kernel and
userspace applications can use it.
The bit is currently unused by the virtio guest drivers and vhost.
According to the spec "a good implementation will try to recover by
issuing a reset". This is not attempted here because it requires
auditing the virtio drivers to ensure there are no resource leaks or
crashes if the device needs to be reset mid-operation.
See "2.1 Device Status Field" in the VIRTIO 1.0 specification for
details.

Based on original patches by Rusty Russell, Thomas Huth
and Cornelia Huck.
Note: at this time, we do not negotiate this feature bit
in core, drivers have to declare VERSION_1 support explicitly.
For this reason we treat this bit as a device bit
and not as a transport bit for now.
After all drivers are converted, we will be able to
move VERSION_1 to core and drop it from all drivers.
