Does this have anything to do with hardening?

It seems cleaner to not negotiate features we do not use,
but given we did this for many years ... should we bother
at this point?

This comment needs to be fixed now. And the format's wrong
since you made it a multi-line comment.
Should be
	/*
	 * like
	 * this
	 */

This switches the order of tests around, so if an rproc device
offers VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_SIZE or VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_MULTIPORT
without get it will now try to work instead of failing.

Which is maybe a worthy goal, but given rproc does not support
virtio 1.0 it also risks trying to drive something completely
unreasonable.

Overall does not feel like hardening which is supposed to make
things more strict, not less.
