vhost-vdpa IOCTLs (eg. VHOST_GET_VRING_BASE, VHOST_SET_VRING_BASE)
don't support packed virtqueue well yet, so let's filter the
VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED feature for now in vhost_vdpa_get_features().

This way, even if the device supports it, we don't risk it being
negotiated, then the VMM is unable to set the vring state properly.

OK so for now I dropped this, we have a better fix upstream.


Yep, I agree.

Maybe we can reuse this patch in the stable branches where the backport
is not easy. Although as Jason said, maybe we don't need it.

Thanks,
Stefano
