A question here.

If I read the code correctly, all features were validated against virtio instead VF before transmitting. This assumes VF's feature is a superset of virtio, does this really work? Do we need to sanitize the feature before joining? (e.g at last NETIF_R_GSO_ROBUST needs to be removed).

Thanks
