From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Implement a mechanism to signal that a virtio device implements the
VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_NEEDS_RESET command.
Testing for VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_NEEDS_RESET support by issuing the request
and verifying the reset state would require an expensive state change.
To avoid that, add a status bit to the feature register used during
feature negotiation between host and guest.
Set the bit for virtio-net, which supports the feature.
